According to the report by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribeann (ECLAC), Panama received USD 6’758 million of foreign investment, corresponding to 51% of the total that reached the central american region.
This investment represents a growth of 36.3% in comparison to last year. Also, within Latin America, Panama is in fifth position, above countries like Peru and Chile.
