Description
In this 172-page Panama 2023 publication, The Business Year’s research team had the chance to experience Panama at a very interesting moment in its history. Panama had a tough pandemic, its economy exposed to the ebbs and flows of global trade more than most because of the country’s eponymous canal.
Having sat down with the country’s top business leaders, resilience was the resounding impression they left on our researchers. Despite a challenging period, the economy is now on the rebound and the business community is enthusiastic about what comes next.
