Resumen
El déficit fiscal es una de las variables macroeconómicas que ha adquirido mayor importancia desde la década de los años ochenta y particularmente en los años noventa, en la economía costarricense. Una consecuencia directa de la existencia de déficits fiscales sostenidos es la acumulación de una deuda pública creciente.
Antes de los años ochenta el déficit fiscal en Costa Rica se cubrió fundamentalmente con deduda externa; la cual era de fácil acceso en los mercados financieros internacionales, ante la existencia de una sobre oferta de fondos prestables, generado por los petrodólares. Sin embargo, con la crisis económica que experimentó Costa Rica en los primeros años de la década pasada y con el endurecimiento del acceso al financiamiento externo, el país empezó a recurrir cada vez con más frecuencia al endeudamiento interno.
The fiscal deficit is one of the macroeconomic variables that has become more important since the 1980s, and particularly in the 1990s, in the Costa Rican economy. A direct consequence of the existence of sustained fiscal deficits is the accumulation of growing public debt. Before the 1980s, the fiscal deficit in Costa Rica was basically covered by an external deductible; which was easily accessible in international financial markets, given the existence of an oversupply of loanable funds, generated by petrodollars. However, with the economic crisis that Costa Rica experienced in the first years of the last decade and with the hardening of access to external financing, the country began to resort more and more frequently to internal indebtedness.
