SAN JOSE (Reuters) - The Costa Rican central bank on Monday lowered its 2019 economic growth projection to 2.2% from 3.2%, citing weak global growth, adverse climatic shocks and declining prices for key agricultural exports, among other factors.

The central bank also lowered its 2020 economic growth outlook to 2.6% from 3.0%.
