PANAMA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Panama's dollar-based economy
rests primarily on a well-developed services sector that accounts for more than
three-quarters of GDP. Services include operating the Panama Canal, logistics,
banking, the Colon Free Zone, insurance, container ports, flagship registry,
and tourism. Economic growth will be bolstered by the Panama Canal expansion
project that began in 2007 and is estimated to be completed by 2015 at a cost
of $5.3 billion - about 10-15% of current GDP. The expansion project will more
than double the Canal's capacity, enabling it to accommodate ships that are too
large to traverse the existing canal. The United States and China are the top
users of the Canal. Panama is also constructing a metro system in Panama City,
valued at $1.2 billion and scheduled to be completed by 2014. Panama's booming
transportation and logistics services sectors, along with aggressive
infrastructure development projects, have lead the economy to continued high
growth in 2012. Foreign investment, at around 10% of GDP in both 2011 and 2012,
has continued to be a source of growth. Strong economic performance has not
translated into broadly shared prosperity, as Panama has the second worst
income distribution in Latin America. About one-fourth of the population lives
in poverty; however, from 2006 to 2012 poverty was reduced by 10 percentage
points, while unemployment dropped from 12% to 4.5% of the labor force in 2013.
The US-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement was approved by Congress and signed
into law in October 2011, and entered into force in October 2012. Panama also
achieved removal from the Organization of Economic Development's gray-list of
tax havens by signing various double taxation treaties with other nations.

Industry: |
Companies
in this industry operate physical retail establishments that sell clothing
and accessories. Personal income
and fashion trends drive demand for clothing. The profitability of individual
companies depends heavily on effective merchandising and marketing. Large
companies can offer wide selections of clothing and have advantages in
purchasing, distribution, and marketing. Small stores can compete by offering
unique merchandise, targeting a specific demographic, providing superior
customer service, or serving a local market. The clothing
retail industry includes stores specializing in women's clothing (50 percent
of industry revenue) or men's clothing (20 percent). Stores may also
specialize in children's clothing (nearly 10 percent of sales) or
accessories. Children's clothing stores include infant wear. Accessory stores
may specialize in hats or caps, costume jewelry, gloves, handbags, ties,
wigs, or belts. Within their specialty, stores typically sell a full range of
items including clothing, outerwear, and underwear. Many clothing stores also
sell shoes, accessories, makeup, and perfumes. |
