It is expected that Panama's growth will remain among the highest in Latin America in the medium term.

The geographical location of Panama, together with the expansion and continuous development of large infrastructures, motivate both nationals and foreigners to see the country as a large center with potential for distribution to the markets of the United States, Canada and Latin America. According to the Minister of Commerce of Panama, the most outstanding business opportunities in the country are in the infrastructure, environment, water and waste treatment sectors, among others.
