Investment Property in Panama - Panama City, the Interior, Caribbean Islands and Colon Province

Thinking of an investment in property in Panama? Good idea! Panama is undergoing a dramatic economic expansion tied to foreign investment and construction projects throughout this Latin American country. Panama has the highest US investment per capita of any Latin American country. This is reflected by that fact that compared to the rest of Latin America Panama has by far the best roads, ports, airports, and telecommunications.

US retirees have been flocking to Panama for about ten years turning this democratic and prosperous country into the world's premier retirement destination. For these retirees their investment in property in Panama has paid handsomely. Even with the run up in prices the last few years it is unlikely that appreciation of the value of an investment in property in Panama will level off any time soon. The basis of Panama's economic expansion is sound. With a 25 percent increase in new construction projects in 2007 the construction industry now accounts for more than 5 percent of the gross national product.

The Panama Canal Authority has started a ten year, ten billion dollar expansion project to more than double capacity by adding a second, wider set of locks to the Panama Canal.

At the beginning of March 2008 Panama hosted over 600 foreign exhibitors from 30 countries at Expocomer 2008. This trade show had to turn away exhibitors. Last year reports of deals worth move than $100,000 were signed just during the few days of the trade show. Not only does Panama have the highest per capita investment by the US in all of Latin America but its trade relationships within Latin America are growing. A hint of this growth of trade relationships was that Expocomer was inaugurated by Mexican President Felipe Calderon who announced that Panamanians no longer require a visa to visit Mexico.

Business is booming in Panama and likely to continue for decades to come.
