Costa Rica central bank denies Fernández claim of FX manipulation by other governments

Costa Rica's central bank (BCCR) publicly distanced itself from a statement by Fernández accusing other governments of exchange-rate manipulation, stating it has no record of such calls and reiterating that the exchange rate is market-determined. This is a domestic political dispute over economic policy credibility, with the central bank asserting institutional independence. The claim is unsubstantiated and denied by the relevant authority, so its market impact is minimal.
