According to the Costa Rican Investment and Trade Development Board,
there are no statistics on annual amounts of foreign investment or its
origin.

INVESTMENT OVERVIEW 

Direct foreign investment 

"Due to the fact of registry of foreign capital is not required, there
are no statistics on annual amounts of foreign investment or its
origin. Several hundred American, European and Asian companies have
manufacturing facilities, distribution centers or offices in Costa
Rica.

These organizations either service the country and the region or
export to their country of origin. Foreign investment has grown
considerably in recent years, particularly in tourism related and
industrial activities because of the favorable operational environment
the country has to offer."

Please view this link and compare it with your findings.  I think you
understand what I am going for but perhaps there is no real breakdown
of the Real Estate sector.

perhaps there is a way to back some figures out of the U.S. Balance of
Payments.  If we can find the tourism/real estate Imports from Costa
Rica to the U.S., we can bounce those numbers off of their total
export figures and back out the percentages.  I'm sure the U.S.
records are more comprehensive.

thanks
