Are there laws which protect foreign investment here? Yes, and also laws which provide benefits for investing in Panama.<\/p>\n<p>Panama\u2019s Constitution Article 44 guarantees the protection of private ownership of real property and private investments: \u201c&#8230; Private property is guaranteed as long as it is acquired in accordance with the law by natural person or legal entity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Panama\u2019s Civil Code regulates general contracts and states that Panama law applies equally to nationals and foreigners. Panama has also enacted numerous pro-business laws which attract foreign investment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the entire article read:\u00a0 &#8211;<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Is_it_safe_to_invest_in_Panama_Yes.pdf\">Is_it_safe_to_invest_in_Panama,_Yes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/warships.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"warships\" src=\"http:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/warships.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now for\u00a0some real life factors that remind us on an annual basis of why Panama is secure.\u00a0 Nothing like parking a few boats offshore to demonstrate the importance of the Canal and why Panama will always be a safe place.\u00a0 Every year we are host to the Panamax war games and these guys play rough.\u00a0 No one is going to mess with Panama.<\/p>\n<p>As reported in CentralAmericaData.com:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Canal&#8217;s strategic importance in global trade has grown to such levels that 21 countries engage in military exercises to defend it.

home, Panama is a safe haven.\u00a0 I often see numerous shoppers\u00a0at the Cartier Store in MultiPlaza Mall as well as other high end boutiques.\u00a0 While I am sure their sales are off from the height of the market, I still see customers buying $25,000 watches so it can&#8217;t be too bad.\u00a0 My friends back in Miami that are part owners in Multiplaza Mall\u00a0tell me that up to\u00a060% of the shoppers are from other Latin American countries who visit here and it is their best investment in all of Latin America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the plans for the future of branding Panama is to brand it\u00a0 &#8220;affordable luxury&#8221; whether it is a store, a resort, a restaurant or a hotel.\u00a0 Programs that\u00a0are\u00a0\u00a0in place\u00a0envision Panama as a hub of the Americas\u00a0\u00a0and this means being the &#8220;center of world-class value-added logistics services and\u00a0high value luxury tourism.\u00a0\u00a0 The Government&#8217;s Strategic Plan 2010-2014, stated that Panama should become a center for luxury tourism beach resorts, business and shopping, to focus on attracting high-spending\u00a0clientele.\u00a0\u00a0 For\u00a0this to become a reality, Panama must present itself as truly a safe haven both for investors and for\u00a0people who wish to move to this beautiful country and take up residence.<\/p>\n<p
