Who we are
The Resident Representative Office in Costa Rica was opened in July 2021 by Julia Bersch as the inaugural Resident Representative. Mr. Santiago Acosta Ormaechea became the second Resident Representative in December 2022. The Office is composed by the Resident Representative along with three local employees, a local economist, office manager and driver.
What we do
The IMF Resident Representative office in Costa Rica functions as a liaison between the IMF headquarters and the Government of Costa Rica with a primary focus to support the Fund’s Extended Arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) and Request for an Arrangement Under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) for Costa Rica. In that capacity, the office follows economic developments and policies in Costa Rica, liaises between the Costa Rican authorities, think tanks, civil society and labor unions and IMF staff in Washington, and coordinates IMF technical assistance. It is also a source of information about IMF views for the public, local and foreign analysts, investors, academic and research institutions, and Costa Rica’s international partners and their diplomatic missions.
