Costa Rica's deficit in infrastructure was cataloged as 'very severe' by IDB experts.
Marcos Camacho, transportation expert at the Inter-American Development Bank, explained that the country needs $10 billion to improve vial infrastructure, "but not to reach a very high level. With this amount it won't come close to European cities, even less to North American ones, it will only come a little bit closer to some South American countries who have recently improved in the subject".
