At the conclusion of their 127th ordinary assembly on March 1, the members of the Episcopal Conference of Costa Rica (CECOR) they posted a message calling for an “inclusive economic reactivation” that guarantees “well-being for all people.”
Although Costa Rica closed the year 2023 with outstanding economic achievements, such asThe first place in the world to attract foreign investment, the reduction in the unemployment rate and the lowest inflation rate of the OECD, the prelates indicated that “economic growth does not reach all people.”
“Costa Rica has established itself as one of the most unequal countries in the world, both because of the difference in income between people and because of the comparative human development between the country’s territories,” the bishops say in their message.
