Panama joins first world in global commerce

Panama was positioned as a first-world center of global commerce at the Business Gateway to the Americas Forum in Washington DC October 4.

Key policy makers instrumental in the passage of the US -- Panama trade accord and prominent executives of multinationals showcased Panama’s logistical prowess and shed light on business opportunities in fast-growing business sectors. The conference was organized by Panama's American Chamber of Commerce.

With a $6.2 billion fully-funded investment, Minera Panama’s copper mining project is not only the largest foreign investment in Panama, but the second largest development in the world, officials said.
