“Growth remains strong. While the budget assumes 5% growth in 2006, continued tax benefits in the construction sector, strong trade flows and the robust global environment could lead to growth north of 7% this year [in Panama], in our view. In addition to Canal expansion-related activity, tourism should continue to be the key driver of growth.”
