哥斯达黎加：政治持续碎片化，财税改革仍陷困局

Abstract:2017 is the final year of President Solís’ four-year term. Legislative fragmentation stalled further breakthrough in reform programs. In the economy arena，the situation of low-speed growth continued. The inflation rate hit the target range set by the central bank for the first time in more than two years. The fiscal deficit，the public debt ratio and the high unemployment rate were still the three major problems facing the Costa Rican economy. In the social area，the poverty rate and the Gini coefficient dropped again，but the public security situation did not improve. The homicide rate reached the standard of rampant violence for three consecutive years. In terms of external relations，Costa Rica actively participated in global and regional integration，and continued exploring how to deepen its relations with countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Costa Rica entered the tenth year，and the relations between the two countries continued to improve.
