A good reason to trust Panama with your offshore accounts is it’s stability. Panama does not have any conflicts with any other countries and does not even have an active army. Most small countries use armies not to rid themselves of enemies, but to control their own people and terrorize them. You do not have to worry of anything of the sort in the peaceful country of Panama.

Furthermore, if Panama were to be threatened they have the allies to help them out in crisis. A treaty with the United States of America over the famous canal allows the larger country to protect Panama from outside sources if the aforementioned canal is ever threatened. This means that the Panama Canal, and essentially Panama itself as the Canal is the only thing of real value to enemies, is protected by one of the largest armies and most connected nations in the world. It is important to note that in case of such attack, the US would not be able to take full control of the banks and other industries in Panama to fend off the attack. Just the area surrounding the canal. With this kind of protection, Panama does not have to worry about larger countries bullying their way into a dictatorship to gain control of the country’s resources.

Although Panama has this treaty with the United States it still, as mentioned before, does not give them any real authority in the country. Their police forces and agents have no power over Panama citizens. Their judicial system is of no concern to Panama. And so forth.

And don’t think the United States is the only country with interest in maintaining the integrity of the Panama Canal. The Chinese are one example of a country that operates much business using the canal. This large country would also like to see everything go as smooth as possible in Panama.

Essentially, Panama operates in the best of both worlds. They are not owned by another country or a part of another larger one, yet they are treated as if they were. Just another reason why Panama is one of the safest places to conduct offshore banking.

If you are considered about the political parties in Panama affecting future decisions about offshore banking, don’t be. Panama, much like the United States, holds elections where anyone can vote for their government officials. They focus on keeping doctors cheap for the working class and higher education affordable for the teenagers. They would rather keep the homeless off the street then take your money. The country also allows their youth to specialize in very respectable careers such as law, medicine and business. As a good proportion of Panama’s citizens earn their livings running banks in the country, it is highly doubtful any changes on regulations will be made in the short or long-term future. You do not have to be concerned about conducting business in Panama unless you are doing something highly illegal and immoral such as money laundering, pornography featuring very underage people, dealing drugs or terrorism. These are all things that no one wants and it is understandable that Panama encourages whistleblowers for these offenses.

All in all, however, Panama is an excellent place to conduct business. They do not care much about minor financial crimes and tax evasion is not nearly as big of a deal there as it is here. Do business in Panama, you won’t regret it.
