Is Panama a good investment for the future?

I discuss just a few of the many indications of Panama's position as we approach 2022. I share a lot and it is a longer video than normal, but even sharing as little as I have requires more than the standard length. So if you are interested in Panama and how the nation is seen by investors globally, this is a beginning. Thanks to Ed Tenes for the photo of a kayuco (also cayuko), the canoe of Panama's indigenous people. This is one of many teams that will take part in a race next year along the canal. Different age groups, men's, women's and combined teams, there is quite a turn-out and the shores are full of people cheering them on! Today is a practice and training session, one of many to come.
