Details

Other former bubble markets worldwide have imploded. Why not the Panama market?

I can identify four reasons:

Panama offers many different, very appealing retirement lifestyle options, from Panama City to the highlands and two long coastlines…

1. This market was not made and is not supported by Americans, at least not 100%. This market was also made by Venezuelans, Colombians, and other Latino investors looking for safe haven for their capital. Panama continues to offer this, certainly relative to other regional options…

2. Panama is not only a safe haven for worried investors from less free markets, it’s also the top doing-business haven in this part of the world. Big international firms (more than 40 of them, including Dell, 3M, Procter & Gamble, Caterpillar) have targeted this country, especially Panama City’s Panama Pacífico international business park located at the former Howard Air Force Base…

3. Panama’s own infrastructure improvement projects (such as the Panama Canal expansion project… the Cinta Costera Panama City-center thoroughfare… the Panama City metro expansion… and the nearly doubling in size of the already bigger-than-any-other-airport-in-the-region Tocumen International) are requiring a big and ongoing influx of foreign labor. This foreign labor population is an important and expanding piece of this country’s economy…

4. Meantime, the middle class in this country is exploding in size, creating ever-expanding local markets…
