Martinelli Good for Business, Development in Panama

According to La Estrella, new President-elect, Ricardo Martinelli could be good for business in Panama…..

According to an article published in the Tico Times by Leland Baxter-Neal, foreign analysts believe Martinelli will be good for encouraging business in Panama. Martinelli has significant business experience and proven ability as an experienced business manager and negotiator. In addition to owning a chain of highly successful supermarkets, Martinelli has also worked in government. He has held positions as the Chariman of the Board of Directors of the Panama Canal Authority; Panama Canal Minister; and Director of Panama’s Social Security Administration.

While a global recession has slowed down many of the world’s economies, Panama remains somewhat stable. Although it has slowed slightly, Panama’s predicted GDP growth in 2009 is still predicted at 3%, one of few countries to be in positive growth.

Martinelli is expected to be popular among businesses and U.S. retirees and those relocating for business. Martinelli has also claimed that once in office, he will cut corporate taxes, implement a flat tax system, invest in tourism, and plans to fight legislation encouraging further transparency and legislation for the company’s banking industry……
