Costa Rica’s Central Bank reports that housing starts fell 15 percent in the last quarter of 2015 compared to the same period a year earlier, led by a decline in housing targeting the middle-class.
For its part, the non-residential sector rose by 18 percent during the same period. Meanwhile, social housing projects saw a record increase during the same period.
