About the Website
Central America Economic Review is an online publication that provides English-language research and insights on Central American markets and economic trends for business leaders and professionals.
Based in San José, Costa Rica, the publication focuses on fundamentals, institutional context, and long-term economic dynamics across Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Coverage avoids short-term market commentary in favor of deeper analysis on how businesses, governments, and economies in the region actually function.
The goal is to offer clear, grounded perspectives on a region that is often under-covered or misunderstood in English-language research. Content is written for readers seeking thoughtful analysis rather than forecasts, speculation, or headlines.
All analysis is independent and provided for informational purposes only

I am very excited to share that the website officially launched yesterday! It now features broad country profile assessments for 2026, which will be regularly updated with new information.
I have also begun the Country Series, starting with Costa Rica, where we will explore individual topics in greater depth. The first article, focusing on the state of tourism in Costa Rica, is already posted. Next week, I will turn to the topic of family farming and land, a subject especially meaningful to me as it draws on my experience working with families in Turrialba, Costa Rica.
