*Costa Rica’s foreign trade ministry has highlighted figures from the export promotion agency (Procomer) showing that exports increased markedly in the first nine months of the year. Exports totalled US$16.91bn, up by 15% on the same period in 2024. The foreign trade minister, Manuel Tovar, said the figures were satisfying “in a context of global trade uncertainty”.
