First it needs a government as impressive as its economy On a humid stretch of Pacific coast in one of the poorest parts of the Americas, somebody seems to have misplaced a chunk of Manhattan. The 50-storey skyscrapers of Panama City jut out of the jungle like nowhere else in low-rise Central America. Panama's smart banks, open economy and long queues of boats at its ports have caused many to compare it to Singapore, another steamy success story. Panama's president, Ricardo Martinelli, made his country's first state visit there in 2010 and later said, "We copy a lot from Singapore and we need to copy more." Panama is not even one-fifth as rich as its Asian model on a per-person basis. But Singapore would envy its growth: from 2005 to 2010 its economy expanded by more than 8% a year, the fastest rate in the Americas. The IMF expects it to grow by over 6% a year during the next five years. Panama will soon overtake Costa Rica and Venezuela in GDP per head. Accounting for purchasing power, it is one of the five richest countries in mainland Latin America. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
