CAF Forum Confirms Panama’s Investment Momentum

The Latin America and Caribbean International Economic Forum 2026 reaffirmed the region’s role as a gateway for global capital. Often described as Latin America’s answer to Davos, the forum delivered a clear signal to markets: confidence in Panama’s investment outlook.

During the event, 22 multinational corporations, including Google, Pfizer, PepsiCo, Siemens, and Cisco Systems, confirmed expansion plans aligned with an $11 billion public investment program focused on infrastructure, water security, and technology. For international investors, this institutional commitment reinforces long-term market stability and sustained demand across Panama real estate, both residential and commercial.

The participating companies are members of the Americas Society Council of the Americas (AS/COA), one of the leading international business organizations headquartered in New York. During the forum, Panama’s president stated that his administration has succeeded in “putting the house in order” through efficiency and fiscal and financial transparency, maintaining a stable and predictable environment for investors.

Beyond financing, CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean is contributing directly to Panama’s urban evolution. Its new regional headquarters is anchoring a superblock redevelopment in Obarrio, repositioning the district as a walkable, technology-driven business hub.

As the economy advances into high-value sectors such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence, the alignment between national infrastructure investment and multinational expansion in Panama supports long-term value appreciation and rising executive relocation demand.

At the market level, Punta Pacifica Realty connects this executive demand with the city’s most established residential markets, supporting higher occupancy, resilient rental performance, and a more stable premium real estate segment.
