Panama PAN

Executive summary

Panama's credibility score of 65.7/100 suggests an adequate but fragile macroeconomic environment, underscored by a very high credibility gap of 99.7/100. The country faces significant geopolitical risks, particularly in the wake of recent legal disputes, public health initiatives, and ongoing criminal activity, which may strain institutional confidence. While no central bank policy rate data is available, the lack of communication from the central bank and the absence of clear inflation targeting complicate the assessment. Institutional investors should remain cautious, as Panama's position in the Latin America & Caribbean region, ranked #10 out of 20, highlights both resilience and vulnerabilities that require close monitoring.
