Tras varios períodos reportando un crecimiento anual de dos cifras, el régimen especial de zonas francas tendrá este 2026 una fuerte desaceleración, de acuerdo con las proyecciones del Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias Económicas (IICE) de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR). Y es que la proyección de crecimiento realizada a inicios de año pasó de 12,4% a tan solo 4,0% para junio de este año. El retroceso estaría relacionado con la guerra comercial que ha implementado el gobierno de Estados Unidos, la cual tiene como objetivo repatriar la inversión extranjera a ese país, pero también con la incertidumbre del mercado global por el encarecimiento de las materias primas y el petróleo, la guerra en Medio Oriente y la irrupción de la inteligencia artificial, entre otros elementos. Sin embargo, la verdadera mala noticia es que la desaceleración en el crecimiento de las zonas francas se traduciría en una reducción en...

Coral reef off Little Cayman (Photo credit: CCMI) (CNS): The focus for this year’s World Ocean Day, held annually on 8 June, is to stress the importance of creating marine parks to turn global commitments into actual conservation outcomes. The 2026 Action Theme is “Strong Marine Protected Areas for Our Blue Planet”, which highlights the fact that coral reefs are under extreme pressure from warming oceans, coral disease outbreaks, pollution and other threats. The reefs surrounding the Cayman Islands have benefited from 40 years of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and are in slightly better condition than most in the region. However, there is no doubt that Cayman’s reefs have degraded, and the threats to marine life are growing all the time.
