This is a well thought out program that has produced solid results.\u00a0 Here is an article from CentralAmericaData.com<\/p>\n
25 multinational companies from around the world have expressed interest in setting up in Panama under the Law of Multinational Corporations (SEM in Spanish).<\/p>\n
The stable economic growth being experienced in Panama is one of the reasons why international companies are interested in the country, in addition to the benefits provided by being in close proximity to the canal.<\/p>\n
Aware of what they have to offer as an investment destination, government agencies have staged a number of high-profile \u2018Panama Invest\u2019 events in major cities, in order promote the country\u2019s advantages.<\/p>\n
An article on Panamaamerica.com.pa states: “Panama expects to have gained about 200 companies under the SEM scheme by 2012, and approximately 500 by 2014.<\/p>\n
Since 2005, this has contributed $338 million to the national economy, and has generated 746 jobs for nationals and 1136 for foreign employees. ”<\/p>\n
An example of this is covered in another article about a company in Germany that is looking over Panama very seriously.<\/p>\n
