摘要

ANEW BUILDING at Hospital Mexico, a public clinic in a quiet neighbourhood of San Jose, Costa Rica's capital, would not look out of place in most rich countries. Behind its quiet exterior lies a bigger story. Excellent health care, free to all at the point of service, is one reason Ticos-as Costa Ricans are known-and their neighbours talk of the country's exceptionalism. In Central America public services tend to be poor, patchy or absent altogether. By contrast all Ticos get state pensions. When they turn on the tap, drinkable water comes out. Now the pandemic has turned what was already unsustainable into a debt crisis. Even before covid-19 the country of 5m had the third-highest government debt in Latin America and the highest interest payments. But last year its economy shrank by 4.5%, partly thanks to a reduction in tourism, while the fiscal deficit rose to 8.1% of GDP, up from 6.7% in 2019. Public debt has reached 68% of gdp. Unemployment has risen to 18%, from 12% last year.
