SAN JOSE (Reuters) – The World Bank on Friday said it had approved a $300 million loan for Costa Rica to ease the economic blow from the coronavirus on small and medium-sized businesses and develop environmentally sustainable projects.
Seynabou Sakho, the World Bank’s director for Central America, said in a statement the loan would contribute to “efforts to conserve jobs and to prevent people from falling into poverty during this difficult time.”
