Panama At-A-Glance

Growth is expected to be around 6.3 and 6.5 percent over the next two years, supported by construction, transport and logistics, tourism, and mining. The current account deficit is expected to narrow to 3.4 percent of GDP in 2023 on the back of higher services exports and copper prices and lower fuel prices before reaching 3 percent in the medium term.
