Panama's failure to fulfil commitments on the exchange of tax information will continue to thwart the main foreign policy priority—US ratification of the preferential trade agreement (PTA) signed in 2007. The authorities are unlikely to keep the fiscal deficit below the 2% of GDP ceiling (as mandated by the fiscal responsibility law) in 2010, with revenue expected to increase gradually and the government reluctant to cut spending. 189c61a96a8fdfe43f6435b4f36321eeFri, 16 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Panamahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/panama/country_report_panama_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The newly elected president, Ricardo Martinelli, will struggle to fulfil high popular expectations given the untested nature of his congressional support base, and the financial constraints imposed by an economic downturn. A two-part fiscal reform will help mitigate a sharp fall in revenue, but the government will still struggle to fulfil campaign pledges of a sharp increase in spending within the constraints of the fiscal responsibility law. Banking liquidity appears to have remained adequate, but banks will remain conservative in credit provision and will prefer to raise interest rates to boost profitability, even though this strategy could boost non-performing loans. 9d2361aa94a49ebadcf485156f75d101Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Panamahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/panama/country_report_panama_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year, some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly CRs. We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every country report. For most countries, except a few where data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in easy-to-read graphical format. 1a3da3dfdd7c77e22246432aa47a6409Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Panamahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/panama/country_report_panama_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 A new president, pro-business conservative and founder and leader of the Cambio Democratico (CD) party, Ricardo Martinelli, takes office from July 1st 2009 following a landslide victory in the May 3rd election. Despite a strong mandate, the incoming president's ability to move ahead with his reform agenda will be tempered by the economic downturn. With expectations high for rapid improvements in areas such as crime and corruption and the upholding of campaign pledges of public investment, we expect MrMartinelli's honeymoon period to prove short-lived. ef2af697788d24f58c9f38ef784fe1e0Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Panamahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/panama/country_report_panama_may_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 A new president, pro-business conservative, Ricardo Martinelli, founder and leader of the Cambio Democratico (CD) party, will take office on July 1st 2009 following a landslide victory in the May 3rd election. Mr Martinellis hand will be strengthened by the legislative majority in the National Assembly won by his Alianza por el Cambio, an alliance of his own CD, the Partido Panamenista and two smaller parties. Despite a record margin of victory, the incoming president's ability to move ahead with his reform agenda will be tempered by economic downturn. 19852ef128c6cac7e6f6c7de8506a7ccTue, 05 May 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Panamahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/panama/country_report_panama_april_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Victory in the May 2009 general electionsas now seems virtually certainfor RicardoMartinelli of the centrist Alianza por el Cambio, would mark a break from 20 years of alternating centre-left PRD and centre-right Panamenista rule. Rising crime rates, party infighting and corruption allegations appear to have all but ended the chances of the ruling PRD of winning another term. The Partido Panamenistas decision to join Alianza has made it likely that a probable Martinelli administration will hold a legislative majority, at least at the outset of his term, avoiding the risk of early legislative deadlock. f4b0f7f52449f184b6cc7854467885a6Sat, 04 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Panamahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/panama/country_report_panama_march_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Victory in the May 2009 general elections, as now seems certain, for RicardoMartinelli of the Alianza por el Cambio, would mark a break from 20 years of alternating centre-left PRD and centre-right PP rule. Rising crime rates, party infighting and corruption allegations appear to have all but ended the chances of the ruling PRD winning another term.

Rising crime rates, party infighting and growing uncertainty over the economy appear to have all but ended the chances of the ruling PRD of winning an historic second term in the May 2009 elections. The PP's decision to join the alliance of parties formed by Mr Martinelli, the Alianza por el Cambio, has made it likely that a Martinelli administration would hold a legislative majority, avoiding the risk of legislative deadlock. dbf02d545ee0f372dfffbc67e622be3eMon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Panamahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/panama/country_report_panama_january_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Politics in 2009-10 will be dominated by the presidential and legislative elections in May 2009 and the process of transition under a new government fromJuly. Rising crime rates, party infighting and a growing sense of uncertainty over the economy appear to have all but ended the chances of the ruling Partido Revolucionario Democratico (PRD) winning a historic second term in 2009. A victory, as seems likely, by Ricardo Martinelli of the small Cambio Democratico (CD) party, would mark a break from 20 years of two-party rule, but the CD's lack of a majority would increase the risk of legislative deadlock. 7dee4fca0198a722d7a5c14162f7667bThu, 01 Jan 2009 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Panamahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/panama/panama_isa_january_2009_country_report.htmlThis report contains detailed forecasts and analysis for Panama, including trade and investment analysis, economic forecasts, political risk assessments and demographic trend analysis.

Rising crime rates, party infighting and a growing sense of uncertainty over the future economy have damaged the chances of the centre-left Partido Revolucionario Democratico (PRD) of winning a historic second term in 2009. The fiscal accounts will undergo a sharp deterioration in 2009-10 as revenue is hit by slowing trade and GDP growth, but infrastructure spending and government transfers are set to increase strongly. 0ba226df05997b76c7fe736e56e9962aFri, 12 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Panamahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/south_america/panama/country_report_panama_july_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 A pro-business conservative, and founder and leader of the Cambio Democratico (CD) party, Ricardo Martinelli, was sworn in as president on July 1st 2009 following a landslide victory in the May 3rd election. Despite a strong mandate, Mr Martinelli's ability to move ahead with his reform agenda will be hampered by the economic downturn. Economic downturn and a projected real (inflation-adjusted) decline in fiscal revenue will complicate the Martinelli administration's ability to introduce a policy agenda including tax reform and countercyclical investment spending. 02ebbe185411742469f53a3a2953f6bdThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GBSouth America/Panama
