Ana Rita Mora

Ana Rita Mora is the director of the Deposit Guarantee Fund (FGD) at the Central Bank of Costa Rica (BCCR). In her role, she oversees the management of funds that protect the savings of millions of depositors in the country. Mora has publicly acknowledged the challenges posed by regulatory limitations that restrict the FGD's ability to invest domestically, leading to a high exposure to currency risk due to investments primarily in U.S. dollars. She advocates for potential reforms to broaden the Fund's investment options to include local government bonds, aiming to mitigate risks associated with currency fluctuations.
