It seems that the article that I posted last week from the Economist is getting passed around and recieving some attention.\u00a0 Hopefully this stays on the front burner and is taken seriously by some people in the government here in Panama.<\/p>\n

The goal of the current Government to convert Panama\u00a0to the Singapore of America appears increasingly difficult, among other reasons, \u00a0the poor quality of its educational system and little transparency of public institutions.\u00a0 So believes the President of the Association of economists of Panama, Ra\u00fal Moreira, who asserts that, the country has much to\u00a0do to reach the level of Singapore.\u00a0 The observation was made in response to an appraisal made by Jonathan Menkos Zeissig, Chief Economist of the Central American Institute for fiscal studies (ICEFI), who believes that Panama has\u00a0a lot of\u00a0potential to become the Singapore of Latin America.\u00a0 David Saied, also of the school, added to those negative aspects, public investment, which, according to him, is not focused on the real problems of the country.\u00a0 We have problems in education, but prefer to build coastal highways with \u00a0money that \u00a0could build 700 schools. There is a poor security, but investment in public works is five times higher, and the same applies to the judicial system said\u00a0 Horacio Estrib\u00ed, exfuncionario of the Ministry of economy and finance. The great success of Singapore is the fight against corruption and respect for the laws. More importantly institutions, contrary to Panama where institutional infrastructure is destroyed.\u00a0 This is a cornerstone to achieve sustainable development. If not, tomorrow will have a very nice city, but with anarchy in the area of governance, he said.\u00a0 Menkos coincided with local economists to point out that the need to strengthen democratic institutions appears as a barrier to the economic and social success of the country.\u00a0 Most importantly, he recommended that perhaps we can rescue Panama and make changes in its public policy to enable it to overcome these challenges successfully in the next five to 10 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
