Investing in Panama: What You Need to Know

Panama is a major international financial centre and the only Central American country on the Financial Stability Board's list of significant jurisdictions. The Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores (SMV) regulates securities markets, while the Superintendencia de Bancos de Panamá (SBP) oversees the banking sector. Panama uses the US dollar (USD) as its currency (Balboa, pegged 1:1 to USD).

Panama's dollarized economy and well-developed banking system make it a regional hub for wealth management and cross-border investment. The Fondo de Garantía de Depósitos (FGD) protects bank deposits up to USD 10,000. Panama operates an extensive international banking centre — over 60 licensed banks including HSBC, Citibank, and regional institutions serve international clients.

Panama has no capital gains tax on the sale of listed securities traded on the Bolsa de Valores de Panamá, and the country has an extensive tax treaty network. Its territorial tax system means foreign-source income is not taxed in Panama, making it attractive for internationally mobile investors. Platforms like Interactive Brokers, Charles Schwab International, and eToro are popular among Panama's international community.
