Authorities warn that the next administration will inherit a deficit of such a magnitude that it will require high impact decisions.
This was explained by the comptroller Marta Acosta during a session of the Costa Rican Congress where she presented a report on the budget plan for the Republic in 2014. In regards to the "high-impact decisions," she said that public revenue must be increased by $1.798 billion , equivalent to 3.4% of GDP.
