In 2024, Panama experienced an increase in taxes on alcoholic drinks. This fact, combined with a new government elected in May 2024, affected the country’s economic performance. In July 2024, the alcoholic drinks industry warned that prices would rise due to Law 438, which established a 30% tax on beer, alcohol, whiskies and other liquors to finance a bonus of USD140 a year to pensioners.
