Investment in Panama with Horacio Estribi
<p>Panama is famous for its canal, but the country's economic story runs much deeper. In this episode, LATAM FDI sits down with Horacio Estribi — a former public servant and national and international consultant with a master's from Harvard's Kennedy School and 35 years across government, banking, and academia — to unpack how foreign direct investment has shaped Panama and where it needs to go next.</p><p>Estribi walks through the sectors that built Panama's growth model: logistics, ports, real estate, banking, and tourism, plus the canal's Panamax expansion. He explains the SEM multinational headquarters regime that drew nearly 200 regional HQs — Mars, Dell, Nestlé, BMW, Procter & Gamble, Samsung — and why connectivity, a dollarized economy, and a flexible immigration system matter as much as tax incentives. Success stories like the Colón Free Zone and Panama Pacific round out the picture.</p><p>But the heart of the conversation is candid: Panama is still growing, just more slowly, and Estribi argues it's time to evolve — toward knowledge, innovation, the digital economy, and even semiconductor supply chains. He points to lessons from Costa Rica, the need to train bilingual talent in AI and problem-solving, and the shift from fiscal perks to one-stop-shop efficiency and less bureaucracy.</p><p>A clear-eyed look at what's worked, what's changing, and how investors can plug in.</p>

Ebell de Castro discusses the Punta Cana Free Trade Zone
<p>Ebell de Castro discusses foreign investment opportunities in the Dominican Republic.</p><p>Abel brings over 20 years of free zone experience, starting at the National Free Zones Council before managing two private free zone parks. His current role is with Punta Cana Free Trade Zone, an initiative of Grupo Punta Cana — one of the DR's largest economic groups.</p><p>The conversation covers four main areas. First, the DR's investment incentives — a 100% exemption from local taxes for 15 years, renewable based on job creation, foreign currency generation, and technology transfer. Second, logistics infrastructure — nine international airports, eleven ports, and connectivity to 85 destinations directly from Punta Cana alone, with competitive labor costs on par with Asian markets. Third, the evolution of free zone manufacturing — shifting from basic apparel assembly toward medical devices, high-value electronics, and now aerospace. Fourth, the Punta Cana Free Trade Zone itself — the region's first industrial park, located inside an international airport, anchored by an MRO facility operated by FL Techniques, targeting aviation, value-added logistics, and air-transported goods manufacturing.</p><p>Abel's long-term vision: an aerospace cluster capable of assembling aircraft in the Dominican Republic within 15 to 20 years.</p><p>Contact: <a href="mailto:edcastro@puntacanafreezone.com">edcastro@puntacanafreezone.com</a> — <a href="http://www.puntacanafreezone.com/">www.puntacanafreezone.com</a></p>
