Panama: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Despite a slowdown in the economy due to the change of government and reorganizing of state finances, Panama continues to be one of the healthiest economies of the region, with an average growth of 6% during 2015. Major infrastructure projects such as line two of the metro, a new bridge over the canal, and the completion of the canal expansion during 2016 are expected to boost to the economy for an estimated growth of 6.3% during the upcoming year. The amount of hotels continues to increase and restaurants are always on the rise. That, in conjunction with Panama’s location and modern infrastructure and convenient laws makes it the perfect place for multinational companies, retirees and holding international meetings and conventions.
