Thank you for the question.
Indeed, since Panama achieved the return of democracy in 1990, improvement in the quality of life has taken place, and not just for economic reasons, but in civil laws and the rule of law that we are pursuing.
Also, I have to mention that the economy of my country has grown considerably in the last few years. It's one of the highest-rated economies in the hemisphere right now. That is based upon open trade. The economy of Panama is mostly based on trade. We are not a growing industrial economy; we are a trade economy. We are basically merchants. Trade has always benefited the Panamanian quality of life.
