Costa Rica placed among the world’s top 10 countries in the attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI) projects per million inhabitants, reaching eighth position in one of the measurements of the Greenfield FDI Performance Index 2026, produced by FDI Intelligence, the Financial Times’ specialized unit.

According to the report, based on projects announced during 2025, the country recorded 18.1 investment projects per million inhabitants, making it the top-ranked country in Latin America and the Caribbean in this classification and the best positioned among the OECD members included in the index.

In the report’s main measurement, Costa Rica also reached fourth place globally, attracting 6.5 times more investment projects than its economy’s size would predict. It is also the only country in Latin America and the Caribbean to appear among the top 20 positions of the general ranking, consolidating itself as one of the main destinations for high-value foreign investment.

At Grupo Zen, we firmly believe in Costa Rica’s potential as a platform for growth, business and high-value investment. Numbers like these reflect the confidence the world places in our country, and we continue building on that confidence, every day.
