Panama Freight Transport Report Q3 2012

  • Published: June 2012
  • 49 pages
  • Business Monitor International

The Panama Freight Transport Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, freight transportation associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Panama's freight transportation industry.

BMI maintains its positive outlook toward Panama's growth outlook, forecasting real GDP growth of 8.1% in 2012 and 7.3% in 2013, as a result of continued robust private consumption. That said, we caution that with the completion of the Panama Canal nearing, the previous steady stream of investment may become somewhat less stable until the country is able to ensure more diversified investment opportunities.

Despite rising global headwinds in Q311, Panama's real GDP growth surprised to the upside at 10.4%, bolstered by strong commercial and construction sector activity. Panama remains a regional growth outperformer and we expect this trend to continue in coming years.

The Panama Canal remains a guaranteed source of income and freight volumes for the country and it will provide a further boost to trade and earnings in late 2014, when the ongoing US$5bn expansion project is completed. READ MORE >
