The Central Bank of Costa Rica is responsible for setting benchmark interest rates such as the Tasa Básica Pasiva (TBP) and the Tasa Efectiva en Dólares (TED), which are used as references by local financial institutions for credit and deposit products. Additionally, the Fondo de Garantía de Depósito provides protection to depositors in regulated financial entities in Costa Rica by insuring deposits up to a specified limit in case of bank insolvency or liquidation.
In recent years, central banks worldwide have placed increased importance on managing inflation expectations as part of their monetary policy strategies.
