Panama Maritime to Provide Development in Panama
According to La Estrella, shipping companies are opting for Panamanian ship registry.
According to the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP), ship registration presents an opportunity for development in Panama. Currently, there are over 8,400 registered ships under the Panamanian flag – more than any country in the world.
It has been predicted that shipping companies will continue with Panamanian registry, due to the most favorable legislation worldwide. Advantages to both merchant ships and cruise ships include: A faster process that takes only hours for registration; discounts based on ship’s tonnage and type; flexibility based on the nationality of the crew and ship’s owners; judicial safety to clients; and a consular offices in Panama that work with worldwide shipping offices.
This is good for Panama and its development. Direct annual income from ship registration accounts for over $70 million and the income derived indirectly accounts for over $150 million.
Director of Merchant Shipping, Alfonso Castillero claims that from 2007 to 2008, there was an increase of 11% of registered ships. He expects the registry to grow at least another 9%. In the 1st quarter, there were 347 ships registered – 151 of which were brand new ships.
This allows Panama to become a larger player in the international maritime market….Interested in moving, retiring or relocating to Panama? Visit Panama-Land-for-Sale.com to see real estate listings in Panama and Portobelo. Click here to view land, condos and businesses for sale in Panama!

U.S.-Panama Developmental Agreement in the Works
This week, Reuters reported that the new President-elect of Panama, Ricardo Martinelli, is hoping to push a Free-Trade Act (FTA) with the United States as soon as possible.
Calling the FTA “our No. 1 priority”, Martinelli is anxious to put a trade agreement into place. Panama exported $377 million to the U.S. in 2008. Panama only taxes dollars that have been earned within the country, and as a result often faces critics accusing the country of providing an “offshore tax haven for wealthy foreigners”.
Martinelli, a wealthy supermarket tycoon, won the election by a staggering 60% of votes on Sunday. His administration rejects all complaints that U.S. citizens use the country of Panama as a tax haven. Frank De Lima, the head economic advisor to Martinelli’s administration has stated: “The perception that Panama is a tax haven is totally false…new government will be open to sharing information with U.S. authorities and plans to work to pass the agreement as soon as possible”.
A U.S.-Panama trade pact was signed by former Panamanian President, Martin Torrijos, in June 2007, but is currently being held up by U.S. Congress. President Obama’s administration has stated that it is hopeful to develop an agreement with Panama relatively soon.
Currently, Panama is a popular destination with U.S. retirees, particularly in a recession. Visit Panama-land-for-sale.com to view properties, land, and condos for sale in Panama and the outlying areas. Click here for more information.

Panama Development to Recruit International Companies
Panama is making the move to attract multinationals in 2009….
Panama’s Law 41 was designed in order to encourage international companies to use Panama as an international business hub. Among the benefits are tax incentives and visa assistance that encourage foreign investment in the country. Additionally, the country’s central location, a stable economy, international banking benefits, and an elaborate telecommunications infrastructure boast business advantages for companies.
Law 41 was enacted in August of 2007 as a joint effort between the private sector and government agencies. As a result of promotion and international marketing campaigns, over 17 global businesses have moved to Panama, including Procter and Gamble, Caterpillar, Roche, Merck, Peugeot, Hyundai Heavy Industries, and Western Union.
The Panamanian Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MICI) claims that Law 41, since enacted, has provided over 500 new jobs to the country. The country expects an additional 25 countries to move operations to Panama.
The country is optimistic as the U.S. recession affects countries around the world. Those companies interested in taking advantage of Law 41 must have fixed assets worth at least $200 million and must present financial statements, bank references and insurance policies before taking advantage of the perks.

Panama Housing Advantages for Retirees
Marketplace Money reported last week that the economic downturn is prompting retirees to move out of the United States in order to obtain a lower cost of living. Panama is one of the primary countries that has seen an influx of retirees and others looking to cash in on the lower prices the country offers….
The U.S. has lost a staggering $2.8 trillion in retirement savings since the economic crisis began. As a result, Panama has become the new “it” place for retirees, with housing costs that are often less than a quarter of rent in the U.S. and custom homes can be built for as low as $60 to $70 a square foot. There are even companies that will assist you in your move should you choose to relocate to Panama with services including filling out necessary forms, bringing pets and finding real estate.
The Panamanian government has given a number of tax incentives, including new construction exemptions from property taxes for 20 years. It is also fairly easy for retirees to obtain visas that allow for discounts on a variety of goods and services.

Panama Real Estate Listed in Top 3 Profit Plays
Today’s Financial News posted an article entitled “Three Top Real Estate Profit Plays for 2009….Among the picks? Panama, of course!
Ronan McMahon, a self-proclaimed active real estate investor that contributes to the International Living newsletter, looks for international real estate opportunities around the globe.
According to McMahon, amid the worldwide global recession, there are still real estate deals to be had. McMahon lists Fortaleza, Brazil at the #1 post, Panama City, Panama at #2 and Costa Rica’s Southern Zone as #3 for making money off of your real estate investment. The Make Money Pick #2, Panama, has been on the radar for the past few years, but as the housing market has fallen, Panama remains fairly solid.
Demand for apartment rentals in Panama is up with some rentals going for up to $500 per night. McMahon claims that “well-managed and presented rentals are running at higher than 80% occupancy” and that “rental rates and occupancy have continued to skyrocket”. New condos and land have had prices slashed, now presenting a fantastic market for real estate investors.
