I added a 13 pound spiral cut honey ham with fresh baked fruit which went very quickly too.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone had a great time again this year and Susie is slowly recovering from the event!! Thanks to her for pulling off another great time with friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PANAMA 2020 and On<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I read a lot of prognostications, most of which I think are wishful thinking, like our new government tourism authority predicting a 10% growth in Tourism just because they are throwing $20 Million into an &#8220;international program&#8221;.\u00a0 Hopefully a little more brilliant than the last one where someone decided to say &#8220;Panama is not for tourists, it is for adventurers!&#8221;\u00a0 Tourism has been a disaster in the last 2 years so we really have only one direction to go and I believe it will go up.<\/p>\n<p>I do know that the fundamentals of Panama changed with The Panama Papers where our last administration spent all his energy placating the OECD, the US government and every other body that pointed fingers at Panama even together most of the illicit activity occurred outside our country.\u00a0 Why not clean up the money laundering Delaware corporations?\u00a0 \u00a0So the do-nothing administration hurt Panama but not as much as the banking system trying to go put itself out of business with over stepping their requirements to be compliant with the new government banking regulations.\u00a0 A lot of companies left Panama including Sun Casinos who invested over $120 Million in the former Trump Tower.\u00a0 They have a lot clients from around the world that are known as &#8220;whales&#8221;.\u00a0 So Mr Whale wants to play and sends $1 Million to Panama so he can have a good time and gamble.\u00a0 Then after blowing $500K he send the rest back home when he leaves.\u00a0 The banks in Panama freaked our and said that\u00a0 they cannot be involved with the perception of money laundering. So, Sun shut down entirely and left Panama.\u00a0 Where did they go &#8211; Chile where the government is friendly and the banking system is far superior to Panama.\u00a0 We visited one of their casinos when were in Chile in October and they are huge!!<\/p>\n<p>So, one pillar has fallen and I do not know the answer to it&#8217;s recovery but I think that will take more than one year.\u00a0 Another Pillar and a very big deal here was the Colon Free Trade Zone, the second largest in the world.\u00a0 The way goods are sold has changed a lot over the last 10 years and The Zone got left behind as it is really not needed when you can get 2 day delivery from Amazon on anything and it ships to Panama the same week!!<\/p>\n<p>Pillar number three is the Panama Canal which has been doing extremely well now 3 years after it&#8217;s expansion.\u00a0 Most of that revenue circulates within the government and the public here\u00a0does not see it.<\/p>\n<p>All of this affected our main driver of growth &#8211; Construction and Real Estate.\u00a0 While we over built again, that too will change but in the meantime, I am reminded\u00a0that with Crisis comes Opportunity.\u00a0 That said, we have a deep buyer&#8217;s market here right now and while it has been a tough couple of years, we see signs that that too is changing.\u00a0 There are still a lot of big discounts in the City and our village of Boquete as well.\u00a0 I have been in real estate for 4o years, 10 of which\u00a0involved properties in Panama and when the market does really get going a lot of people are going to wished that they had been here and taken advantage of the discounted real estate deals around.\u00a0 In Boquete a lot of agents will tell you things are great and you can sell your property for a big price because they offer the MLS service.\u00a0 Wrong on both counts.\u00a0 There is a lot of discounting going on behind the scenes and the MLS does not account for more that 10% of sales in Panama.\u00a0 We have a team that can offer you rental opportunities and agricultural investments.\u00a0 We also seek out the real deals being offered in the market and would not hesitate to make an offer on a home that might otherwise seem to be too aggressive.<\/p>\n<p>My eyes were opened wide after visiting Chile as the country erupted in violence and while Panama is far behind Chile economically, we do have something here that is the glue that binds our country &#8211; STABILITY! While we were in Chile, I saw violence, death and the destruction of a huge amount of their infrastructure.\u00a0 Even while Panama has its protests while we explore changing our constitution, you will never see one Panamanian destroy our Metro System like they did in Chile.\u00a0 Panama also has a wide gap between the rich and poor but the poor are doing better and poverty has shrunk a lot in the last 10 years. Our middle class is enjoying significant growth as well as people earn more and spend more.\u00a0 Our new malls and stores continue to grow and we now have more goods and services that we have ever had.\u00a0 That will be the backbone of future growth in Panama.<\/p>\n<p>Our main hub, Panama City will bring us out of our malaise with new infrastructure planned and under way for 2020. An example of this can be found on Amador Causeway where will see the opening of a new convention center and a cruise terminal which will help with tourism and businesses\u00a0coming to\u00a0Panama.\u00a0 We have a new bridge over the canal in the works and always more roadway construction. Our China relationship could payoff big time next year is the bullet train from Panama to Costa Rica gets going among other planned projects.<\/p>\n<p>People all over the world are seeking STABILITY and want to leave behind the hate we see in the US, a Europe over run with immigrants and the chaos in Latin American Countries which continues to spread.\u00a0 We saw country after country crushed under the weight of communist\/socialist regimes which destroyed Venezuela and Nicaragua.\u00a0 Argentina continues to struggle and the new administration\u00a0 has a lot of people worried.\u00a0 Same with Colombia.<\/p>\n<p>So, Panama will keep its doors open wide and welcome people and businesses that seek out STABILITY like we have to offer here in Panama.\u00a0 Come visit us in 2020 and see if Panama works for you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/happy-holidays2019.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
