61. Investing And Doing Business In Costa Rica
Completely costa rica provides your guide to investing and doing business The costa rican government, its ministries and financial institutions maintain
http://www.businesscostarica.com/
Doing Business in Costa Rica Costa Rica remains one of the safest and most attractive country for foreign investment in Latin America. The Costa Rican government, its ministries and financial institutions maintain a decidedly pro-U.S. and continental stance in regard to financial security and tax laws. The stated aim is to entice primarily high-tech corporations to take advantage of Central America's most educated, computer literate and disciplined workforce, along with the modern production infrastructure the country is currently creating. The economy is being transformed from its long-time dependence on coffee, bananas and cattle raising to one centered on microprocessor production and high-tech telecommunications services.
The Costa Rican-American Chamber of Commerce AmCham is an important resource for anyone interested in doing business in Costa Rica.
http://www.amcham.co.cr/
This investment-friendly climate and government policy of making Costa Rica "the Silicon Valley of Latin America" has enticed commercial leaders such as Acer, Microsoft, GE, Abbot Laboratories, Continental Airways and Intel Corporation to make sizable investments here, both financially and physically, with major production and distribution facilities. Western Union has chosen Costa Rica to host its Latin American regional operations center. In 1998, for the first time ever, Costa Rica is poised to earn more from high technology exports than from coffee or bananas or even its lucrative, thriving tourism industry.

    GOVERNMENT
    Costa Rica is a democratic republic with a strong system of constitutional checks and balances. Executive responsibilities are vested in a president, who is the country's center of power. There also are two vice presidents and a 15-member cabinet. The president and 57 Legislative Assembly deputies are elected for 4-year terms. In April 2003, the Costa Rican Constitutional Court annulled a constitutional reform enacted by the legislative assembly in 1969 barring presidents from running for reelection. The law reverted back to the 1949 Constitution, which states that ex-presidents may run for reelection after they have been out of office for two presidential terms, or eight years. Deputies may run for reelection after sitting out one term, or four years.
    The electoral process is supervised by an independent Supreme Electoral Tribunala commission of three principal magistrates and six alternates selected by the Supreme Court of Justice. Judicial power is exercised by the Supreme Court of Justice, composed of 22 magistrates selected for renewable 8-year terms by the Legislative Assembly, and subsidiary courts. A Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court, established in 1989, reviews the constitutionality of legislation and executive decrees and all habeas corpus warrants.
    The offices of the Comptroller General of the Republic, the Solicitor General, and the Ombudsman exercise oversight of the government. The Comptroller General's office has a statutory responsibility to scrutinize all but the smallest public sector contracts and strictly enforces procedural requirements.

    How many ways do we love thee, rain?
    By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
    The homestretch to the temporada alta or dry season always hosts the most rain. And the downpours seem to increase as December
    edges closer.
    The rainy season has not been a killer this year, although a couple of weather systems threw a lot of water at Costa Rica Monday. More is expected for today.
    So it is time to list the reasons we love rain:
    1. A good downpour or aguacero washes away the garbage left by the trash crews. 2. The hypnotic, hard pounding on the metal roof provides a good excuse to nap.
    3. Flowers love rain, and we love flowers. 4. That sweet, fresh smell follows the rain. 5. It's not snow. 6. You get to hug your partner closer under a single umbrella. 7. You didn't need to make that meeting. 8. Those dynamite sunsets with technicolor clouds and rainbows. 9. Pure clear water can become beer. Pacific coast braces for annual highest tides By the A.M.

    77. COCORI-Starting A Business In Costa Rica
    costa rica s government is as stable as one could want (in Central America) andthe costa rican people are simply a cut above.

    Starting a Business in Costa Rica
    by Ed Underwood , President
    Central American Consulting Services, Inc.

    F or outsiders, doing business in a foreign country can be dauntingCosta Rica is no exception. Like many small countries, the business environment in Costa Rica is controlled by a few entrenched interests. However, the opening of the global marketplace has put pressure on those entrenched interests to yield to outside investment and investors. Costa Rica, a peaceful democracy for decades, has a history of actually inviting foreign investment. An example of this is that it is relatively simple to begin a business in Costa Rica. What one does after a business is begun is an entirely different matter. Costa Rica is an enchanting place to live. Of course, there are some internal problems, but there are problems everywhere. Costa Rica is centrally located between two of the largest consumer markets in the world and, with all the neat, new technology, business can be done from here as easily as from Peoria, Illinois or Patagonia, Argentina! Costa Rica's government is as stable as one could want (in Central America) and the Costa Rican people are simply "a cut above." The Costa Rican corporate legal system is like the country itself"user friendly." Incorporating here is painless and suggested as the first step to doing any other kind of business. With a smattering of business sense, a rudimentary grasp of Spanish, a bit of ready cash, and the desire to become a global power (!), anyone can be a recognized business entity.
