Panama closed 2007 with the highest economic growth rate in all of Latin America after hitting a record high of 11.2%.

Now well into 2008, new information shows that the Panamanian economy continues to perform and expand at a similar level.

While many parts of the world are experiencing job losses and economic stagnation, Panama’s economy is creating jobs and growing.

The Index of Monthly Economic Activity (IMAE) in Panama registered an increase of 9.48% for the month of April 2008 compared to the same period last year. The overall increase in economic activity for the first four months of 2008 was 8.01%

With many large scale infrastructure projects currently in the works including the Panama-Colon Highway, the Panama City Cinta Costera coastal road and of course the expansion of the Panama Canal, the Panamanian government is confidently looking toward the future and understands the huge economic potential that exists within this small country.

Directly affecting the Balä Beach Resort is the construction of the brand new Panama – Colon Highway set to be finished by the end of 2008.

Additional projects include new commercial and residential developments including the Balä Beach Resort, will all come together and translate into a new era of investment and opportunity, finally with the diversity to stimulate sustained economic growth for the entire area.
