Panama: the most globalized country in Latin America?
According to a report in the Latin Business Chronicle, Panama is ranked as the most globalized country in Latin America. The ranking is based on 17 factors that measure each country’s links to the outside world.
I’m surprised by the finding—I know that my country is strong in foreign trade, but seriously… stronger than Brazil, Chile and Mexico? Actually, what tips the scales is the Colon Free Trade Zone, the largest in the western hemisphere. We’re also in the top 10 with regards to Internet penetration, an encouraging sign.
