The crisis of 2008 halted the development of the ambitious project in the Gulf of Papagayo tourist hub, and solutions are being sought to maintain it.
The project is owned by Monte del Barco Real Estate Fund, administered by Aldesa Investment Funds.
There is need to resolve the financial situation of the project in order to continue with its development, so solutions have emerged such as the purchase of lots by the same investors in the Fund, which so far has not been successful, and the transfer of part the land to a group of providers in exchange for building the basic infrastructure so as to enable the project to continue.

While the Central Bank of Costa Rica projected economic growth of 4.3% for 2011, the Aldesa Group anticipates that the country will grow between 3.7% and 4%.
It is unlikely that domestic production will increase by more than 4%, said Aldesa analyst Adriana Rodriguez, given the economic slowdown in the agricultural and manufacturing industry coupled with the lower projected growth in the United States.

The monthly economic activity index, known for its Spanish initials as IMAE, keeps trending down.
On April, the index recorded a year-on-year change of 4.13%, lower than in march (5.83%). This marks three consecutive months of decreases.
So far, the observed economic cycle seems to be normal: a “rebound stage”, marked by fast growth, which then normalizes and stabilizes, reaching long term sustainability. It is worth of note, however, that bank credit has not recovered in the past 18 months, and several key sectors, such as manufacturing, construction and hospitality, seem to be rapidly losing momentum.

The basic passive rate increased 25 basis points and now stands at 8.25%.
For the past four months, the rate has hovered between 8% and 8.5%. Since the start of the year, we have maintained our forecast that it would remain between 8% and 10% for the first six months of the year.
Interest rates in domestic currency could move up during the rest of the year, fueled by two events: economic recovery in the country, which would cause increased demand for liquidity, and the Treasury requiring more financing. If the Government decides to finance its activities domestically, competing for resources in the financial market, it would put upwards pressure on interest rates; if it is conducted eternally, it would not pressure interest rates, but could move the exchange rate further down, as more dollars would be available in the market.

The development boom experienced by this tourism province in Costa Rica before the financial crisis has been replaced by “deceleration and prudence”.
“Imagine a car in a six-lane road travelling at 120 kilometers per hour. Suddenly, if finds itself in a gravel road, full of street holes, and the car must slow down to 20 kilometers per hour if it intends to stay apiece”.
