Guaranteed Investment Stability

Over the past decade, Panama has taken steps to ensure that its economy and currency are attractive to global investment. Since 1998, the country has registered more than $2 billion in direct foreign investment, with projects ranging from energy exploration and industrial manufacturing to tourism development.

The Investment Stability Law  guarantees all foreign and national entities equal rights in terms of investments and business practices, continuing Panama's long-standing policy of providing a foreign-investment environment that requires no special authorizations, permits or prior registrations. The law ensures ten years of stability that all legal, tax, customs, municipal and labor rules will remain identical to those in force at the time of investment registration. This important guarantee assures that changes will not affect the amortization of investments.

Steady Economic Growth

Panama is the fastest-growing economy in Central America, due to its stable democracy, solid legal framework and dollar-based economy. The country has enjoyed more than a decade of continuous GDP growth with low historical inflation. Additional tax and regulatory incentives  in place at Panama Pacifico make this new destination even more attractive for international investors.
