Why invest in Panama?
Why invest in Panama?
Panama has established itself as one of the most attractive investment destinations in Latin America, thanks to its economic stability, strategic location, and favorable legal environment. With a dollarized economy, policies that encourage foreign investment, and growing tourism infrastructure, the country offers multiple advantages for those looking to develop real estate, tourism, or sustainable projects.
Panama’s international connectivity, both by air and sea, allows efficient access from different regions of the world. This facilitates not only trade but also a steady flow of visitors, investors, and new residents, especially in high-potential areas such as the Pacific islands.
The Panamanian legal framework allows foreigners to securely acquire properties, and there are various types of titles and legal figures that support land ownership. Additionally, Panama has laws that promote tourism, reforestation, and sustainable development, offering tax benefits and conveniences for those who commit to environmentally responsible business models.
National Infrastructure that Enhances Cébaco Escondido
Panama–Chiriquí Train
This railway project aims to connect Panama City with the province of Chiriquí, in the western part of the country. It will significantly reduce land transportation time, facilitating access for people and goods.
Fourth Bridge over the Panama Canal
A key infrastructure that will cross the Panama Canal, improving connectivity between the capital city and the inland provinces. It will allow continuous vehicular traffic without relying on the Bridge of the Americas.
Expansion of Regional Airports
Airports such as Santiago (Rubén Cantú) and Chitré are being modernized to improve their operational capacity, safety, and services for both domestic and international flights.
Expansion of Puerto Mutis (Veraguas)
A strategic port in the Gulf of Montijo, near Cébaco. Its expansion will transform it into a logistics hub for maritime transport, fishing, nautical tourism, and regional trade.
Cruise Terminals (Amador and Colón 2000)
Two modern terminals that boost the country’s cruise tourism: one on the Pacific side (Amador) and another on the Atlantic side (Colón 2000). They are key points connecting Panama with international tourist routes.
Panama Canal
The Canal remains a logistical pillar of global trade and a key source of income for the country. Its infrastructure and connectivity also benefit tourism and real estate development projects.
Tax and Economic Advantages of Investing in Panama
1. Territorial Tax System
In Panama, taxes are only paid on income generated within the country.
Profits earned outside of Panama are exempt from local taxation.
This benefits international investors who manage capital from abroad or sell outside the country.
2. Zones with Special Incentives
Panama has laws that promote investment in rural, touristic, or island areas.
Cébaco may be eligible for these incentives, provided development occurs under approved frameworks (such as sustainable tourism or foreign investment programs).
These incentives include tax reductions, streamlined registration processes, and operational benefits.
3. Tax Exemptions for Tourism
Income tax exemption for up to 15 years.
Import tax exemption on materials, equipment, furniture, etc.
Property tax exemption for up to 20 years.
4. Economic and Monetary Stability

This provides:
Exchange rate security
Protection against devaluation
Greater confidence for international investors
5. Ease of Property and Business Registration
Panama offers a clear legal system for the registration of land, corporations, and projects.
Foreign investors have full ownership rights, with no need for a local partner.
The project can be operated through corporations, private foundations, or trusts, as appropriate.
