Costa Rica’s economy grew 4.13 percent in September, compared to the same month last year.
The economy has grown at least 4 percent in five of the last six months and has not recorded a negative growth figure since July 2009.
Economic improvement in September was driven by a 16 percent increase in investment in the national service sector, which includes call centers and back-office operations. The transportation, storage and communications sectors also recorded earnings of 7.3 percent more than Sept. 2010. Trade, construction and industrial sectors also recorded growth.
