Costa Rican government conditions IVM pension transfers on CCSS data disclosure

The Costa Rican government has conditioned the transfer of state contributions to the IVM pension fund on the CCSS providing specific worker and employer data, confirmed by La Nación. This action coincides with the Ministry of Health's confirmed default on a ₡215.6 billion payment to the CCSS, exacerbating the state's total debt to the social security system, which reached ₡4.4344 trillion as of May 2025. These developments indicate an escalating institutional dispute over data access, fiscal management, and the financial stability of national health and pension systems.
