Why Invest in Panama?

Although we've talked much about the fact that Red Frog is a paradise, no matter what your definition of paradise may be; the investment opportunities in Panama are equally paradisiacal. Here are only a few reasons why.

A world-class banking system with a high-degree of secrecy. Panama is an international banking and finance center that has no restrictions on the movement of money in or out of the country. It is also legal and very simple to form truly anonymous corporations.

The Panamanian currency is the US dollar, which is of tremendous importance in attracting foreign investment. (Panama does mint coins which are identical in size and weight with US coins and of the same value.)

No hurricanes ever bother the Bocas del Toro shores

There is a large indigenous peoples influence in Panama which contributes greatly to the charm of the country

Discount of 10-50% on products and services for foreigners

Affordable real estate

Excellent business opportunities with incentives

A wealth of activities to stay busy and happy

Warm climate

Residency perks. The Tourism Master Plan includes incentives to encourage investment in Panama which include no income or capital gains taxes in specific cases.

First world living. Panama has the highest per-capita income, the largest foreign investment and the most highly developed economic infrastructure in Central America

Prior to the opening of the Panama Canal, the island of Bocas del Toro was the center of commerce for Central America and still reflects the colonial influence resulting from worldwide activity in the once booming banana, coconut and cocoa business.

The Panama Canal and the long standing involvement of the United States. Panama has the highest per capita US investment in all of Latin America is one reason why Panama's infrastructure is far and away the best in Central America. Highways, airports and shipping centers are extensive and well maintained.
