Key Opportunity for Panama

Panama's geographic position and role as a logistics hub are highlighted as key advantages amidst the US-China trade war. The article suggests that the increased tariffs imposed by the US could lead to e-commerce giants such as Amazon, Temu, and AliExpress shifting their distribution operations to Panama.

Panama's Strengths

Panama's strengths include:

• Its existing infrastructure, particularly the Colon Free Zone, already used extensively by Chinese exporters.
• Its role as a major trading partner for China and the region.
• The fact that it's already a significant distribution center for goods destined for the Americas.

The article emphasizes Panama's substantial trade deficit with the US, suggesting that attracting e-commerce companies could help to mitigate this.

Call to Action for Panama

The article concludes with a call for the Panamanian government to actively promote the country's logistics hub and attract these substantial investors. The success of this strategy hinges on Panama's ability to leverage its existing infrastructure and geographic position in the global market.
