Costa Rica's socioeconomic problems will outlast Solis
Keyword(s):
Subject Midway through his term, Solis is a lame duck president. Significance President Luis Guillermo Solis's first two years in power have been largely ineffectual. Opposition in Congress together with divisions in his party and his lack of experience have hindered much-needed reforms in areas such as social security. Strong results for the opposition in February's municipal elections have further limited the government's room for manoeuvre. Impacts Social demands and the economic slowdown will see public debt steadily rise this year. Efforts to introduce tax reforms are unlikely to make it through the divided Congress. Solis's successor will inherit the problems of this administration and may be no better placed to address them.
