In Costa Rica, the Expocasa 2026 event at Parque Viva in Alajuela, held from September 24 to 27, has become a platform for various housing and financing initiatives.

The institution offered specific rates for colones and dollar-based financing, including fixed rates for initial periods followed by variable rates.
