Opportunités d’investissement
Un pays dynamique et accueillant
L’affaire des Panama Papers, suivie par l’impact de la pandémie de COVID-19, a gelé l’économie florissante du pays, qui avait été portée par une croissance du PIB quatre fois supérieure à la moyenne de la région Amérique latine-Caraïbes. Après une contraction en 2020, un fort rebond a été observé en 2022 et se poursuit en 2023.
Le Panama sert de pont entre les continents. Son canal interocéanique élargi double la capacité de transit maritime, agissant comme un moteur de l’économie mondiale. Le pays est un carrefour logistique pour le stockage et la distribution de cargaisons mondiales, relié à l’Amérique du Nord et du Sud, aux Caraïbes, à l’Europe et à l’Asie. Avec une stabilité financière basée sur le dollar américain, une zone franche cruciale, l’aéroport international de Tocumen, le métro et d’autres infrastructures, le Panama est attractif pour les investisseurs. Sa position géographique et sa taille le placent au centre de cinq câbles sous-marins de fibre optique, un emplacement de choix pour les entreprises de télécommunications.
Les opportunités d’investissement sont diverses dans ce jeune pays, visant à renforcer les infrastructures, la durabilité et l’économie. Les secteurs clés en demande incluent :
