President Martinelli:

Welcome to MeetPanama.com.pa, I am Ricardo Martinelli.

Panama has a rich and storied past as one of the world’s greatest intersections of commerce and trade. As a nation, we are among the most diverse in the world - a melting pot of cultures and traditions from all parts of the world. As a people, we are proud of our country and work hard for a better life for our families, our neighbors, and our country.  

Panama is also a great place to do business. Our dollar economy, our infrastructure, our simplified tax structure and of course our location make us a great and attractive place for new investments and global economic development.

That is why we have created this website, to reach out to you and to the world and tell Panama’s dynamic story of economic opportunity.   As you visit our site, please look for the vital information you need to begin building a strong and lasting relationship with Panama.  

Panama’s vibrant economy awaits you. Meet Panama today and let us build a bright future together. Thank you.
