The Chamber of Exporters of Costa Rica (CADEXCO) presented a list of proposals that, in its opinion, would give a boost to the competitiveness of all exporters of goods and services.
Regarding the exchange rate, the members of the organization asked that the managed float system reflects market forces, since they believe the nominal exchange rate has remained practically fixed since the beginning of this administration.
In addition, they request to reduce the financial intermediation margins in colones, to promote greater competition in that market, as well as to send to the Legislative Assembly the draft for the Deposit Insurance Law.
They also suggest installing high-tech scanners, accredited by the United States and European Union, as well as funds to fight theft, assault and pollution of containers carrying goods.
CADEXCO also requests greater administration, information and execution of the current trade agreements, by opening an office focused on the Administration of Treaties.
The entity also calls for “streamline” health protocols to export fresh and dried pineapple, melon, pork, chicken, seafood, frozen tuna, frozen fruits and vegetables to China.
The statements were made during an activity in which the Chamber reports on the activities of the year.
