The World Bank projects Panama’s economy will grow 3.5% in 2025, outpacing Latin America and the Caribbean’s average of 2.1%. This growth is fueled by strong internal demand and a resurgence in both public and private investment. The outlook gets even brighter with forecasts of 3.8% in 2026 and 4.3% in 2027.
In a region challenged by high debt, slow reforms, and global uncertainty, Panama remains resilient. The World Bank highlights the country’s opportunity to capitalize on foreign direct investment, digital transformation, and nearshoring—especially if bold reforms in infrastructure, education, and governance continue.
Real Estate Impacts: A Market Ready to Grow
For property buyers and investors, Panama’s positive economic trajectory suggests sustained interest and value in real estate. Prime areas such as Costa del Este and Santa Maria may benefit the most, driven by growth, infrastructure projects, and increasing demand from both locals and expats.
A growing economy often brings new buyers, better financing conditions, and rising rental potential—particularly in sought-after communities. While external risks remain, Panama’s fundamentals are solid.
