Overview
MÁS ALLÁ DEL CANAL: LA LOGÍSTICA COMO MOTOR DE CRECIMIENTO
En colaboración con: Arias & Castillo Abogados, Asociación Panameña de Ejecutivos de Empresas (APEDE), Cámara de Comercio Industrias y Agricultura de Panamá (CCIAP), Cámara Panameña de la Construcción (CAPAC),
Centro de Conciliación y Arbitraje de Panamá, (CeCAP), International Chamber of Commerce Panamá (ICC Panamá)
La economía de Panamá creció casi 6 por ciento en el 2015. El Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo prevé que Panamá seguirá siendo líder en crecimiento económico en América Latina y el Caribe en el 2016. Las inversiones en infraestructura y logística han contribuido significativamente al alto crecimiento y lo seguirán haciendo en los próximos años. A pesar de que el gasto público se reducirá cuando la ampliación del Canal sea completada en junio de 2016, la logística desempeñará un papel cada vez más importante en la economía del país. Más allá de la ampliación del canal, hay muchos otros proyectos de logística que se están desarrollando, como la segunda línea de metro (un monorriel de $2 mil millones), el proyecto de bienes raíces de uso mixto Panamá Pacífico, la primera instalación de la planta de gas natural licuado y gas natural del país, entre otros. Esta conferencia analizará las medidas que deben adoptarse para ejecutar un plan nacional de logística y las oportunidades para los inversionistas internacionales.
AS/COA y el Ministerio de Comercio e Industrias te invitan el 29 de junio para una conferencia que se enfocará en la forma en la que Panamá puede utilizar la logística como un motor de crecimiento sostenible.
BEYOND THE CANAL: LOGISTICS AS AN ENGINE OF GROWTH
In collaboration with: Arias & Castillo Abogados, Asociación Panameña de Ejecutivos de Empresas (APEDE), Cámara de Comercio Industrias y Agricultura de Panamá (CCIAP),
Cámara Panameña de la Construcción (CAPAC), Centro de Conciliación y Arbitraje de Panamá, (CeCAP), International Chamber of Commerce Panamá (ICC Panamá)
Panama’s economy grew by almost 6 percent in 2015. The Inter-American Development Bank forecasts that the country will continue to lead Latin America and the Caribbean in economic growth in 2016. Investments in infrastructure and logistics have been critical to this high growth and will remain so in the coming years. Even though public spending will drop as the canal expansion nears its completion in June 2016, logistics will play a progressively important role in the country’s economy. Beyond the canal expansion, there are many other logistical projects taking shape, such as the second subway line (a $2 billion monorail), the mixed real estate project Panama Pacifico, the country’s first natural gas-powered plant and liquefied natural gas, among others. This conference will analyze the steps which must be taken to execute a national logistics plan and the opportunities for international investors.
Join AS/COA and Panama’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry for a conference on June 29 focused on how Panama can use logistics as an engine of sustainable growth.
