In Panama, the economy grew 4.4% in 2025; inflation was 0.2% in 2025 (13th highest of 14). Poverty reaches 21.7% of the population (2023, 5th of 13) and unemployment is 7.8% (2024). Panama is among the three best placed on GDP per capita at purchasing power parity, inflation, life expectancy at birth and share of households online and among the three worst placed on public debt, unemployment rate, income inequality (Gini index) and education spending. Its poverty rate (2023), upper-secondary completion rate (2023), education spending (2023), homicide rate (2023) and share of households online (2022) figures are older than the rest of the region’s.

Supplier dependence
We combine the leading supplier share with observed volume and require at least fifty relationships. This prevents tiny samples from outranking cases with wider reach. Concentration directs questions; it does not prove misconduct.
