The new president, Luis Guillermo Solis of the Partido Action Ciudadana (PAC), will maintain pro-business policies that will also have a strong social focus during his four-year term.
Mr Solis will be hampered by his party's weak position in the legislature, with just 12 out of 57 seats. An alliance with two major opposition parties will help the administration to avoid legislative deadlock in 2015-16.
