Panama - Not Just A Pretty Canal!
Ask most people around the world their thoughts on Panama and you would probably be met with the same one word reply: canal.

Aided by more stable, pro-business governments using the invaluable canal as a catalyst, Panama's friendly tax and regulation system has helped to established the country as one of the most modern and respectable business and financial centres outside the established 'onshore' countries, and ranks as probably the most important trading and business hub in the region.
