IMF hails ‘vibrant’ Panama economy

The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund concluded the Article IV consultation with Panama on May 1,  and considered and endorsed the staff appraisal without a meeting on a lapse-of-time basis.

Economic activity remains among the most vibrant in the region. Medium-term growth prospects are strong, with sectors such as logistics and tourism providing potential to further boost activity. The policy environment should support future growth, especially with measures to address skill gaps, the quality of education, and high income inequality.
