MIDEPLAN serves as Costa Rica’s central government body responsible for national planning and economic policy. Its role includes overseeing regional development initiatives and fostering international partnerships through agencies such as JICA and through bilateral meetings like those with El Salvador. The agency’s public statements reflect ongoing priorities in regulatory compliance at the local level and active engagement in international cooperation programs.
