Investing in Panama
​​

Picture
One place that is hugely becoming popular for foreign investment in Panama because of its very stable political environment, booming real estate market, growing economy, and pro-business government policy. And the most critical factor is that Panama’s Civil Code, Foreign Investment, and Constitution all assure that foreigners have equal rights like the Panamanians for investment, commerce, and property ownership.
 
Panama is deemed to be an ideal retirement destination, an investment paradise, and an adventure wonderland. It is bursting with opportunities for entrepreneurs, and people with foresight can make impressive gains. The process of investing in Panama is relatively simple, and there are many ways to invest in Panama, namely:
 
Investing in Panama Tourism
 
Panama’s attractive tourism investment laws are not only for big businesses, but the investment of as little as $50,000 in tourism project also reaps tax benefits and financial incentives like:

  • Twenty-year exemption from import tax dues on equipment, furniture, materials, and vehicles.
  • Twenty-year exemption from real estate tax on all the enterprise assets.
  • Waiver of the fee imposed on piers and use of airports.
  • Depreciation of real estate assets of 10% per annum.
 
Investing in Panama Real Estate Market
 
The Panama government also gives incentive to the property developers. Any income generated from the rental or sale of the property is exempted for ten years from income tax. The real estate owner can also deduct 100% renovation cost from the income tax. To complete the renovation if any material is imported, it is duty-free. Not only this, the owners need not pay the property tax for 30 years or any transfer tax if the property costs more than $50,000.
 
Investing in Panama Bonds, Stocks, and ADRs
 
Though relatively smaller in size, Bolsa de Valores de Panama attracts more companies to list their stocks. Some well-known companies are heavily traded on the exchange. There is no doubt that one of the easiest ways to get exposure to a country is by investing in ETF (Exchange traded fund) that either specializes or has exposure to that country. There is only one ETF, namely FRN (Invesco Frontier Market ETF) that assures the highest exposure to Panama of around 7.87%. Investors can also consider ADRs or American Depository Receipt. The two ADR options available are CopaHoldings S.A. (CPA) and BancoLatinoamericano de Exportaciones y Importaciones, S.A (BLX).
 
Investing in Panama Pacifico Special Economic Area
 
Panama Pacifico Special Economic Area is the specially designated area for the manufacturing of goods and services that are important for the economy of Panama. It offers investors many incentives. The Panama authorities and government encourage international trade, call centers, corporate office, film production, and aviation services in this particular economic area. Some monetary incentives include exemption of import, real estate, commercial, and stamp tax. Panama even offers labor incentives for all employees. Above all, there is no exemption for appointing foreign laborers.
 
In the end, Panama is popular with companies to establish as their home company because of financial privacy and favorable tax laws.
