Panama is a business friendly country. Since the 1990's when the government became a democratic one there have been business friendly laws put in place to encourage new foreign investors to come into the country to establish a new commercial or industrial business. It is a fairly routine procedure to set up a new business or corporation there. The economy is one that is considered by international standards as quite stable. And the government can be considered to be very pro business. They are also said to have a very low crime rate as compared to other countries in Central or South America. The newly refurbished and expanded Panama Canal is also a big business draw.
