process in Central America constitutes an
opportunity to Panama, based on the
country's competitive advantages and
logistics platform, official sources said.
Johanna Hill, Deputy Minister of Economy in
El Salvador, noted that Panama also
constitutes a natural business center, with
a very developed business sector.
On the sidelines of a forum convened by the
Ministry of Trade and Industries to discuss
the issue, the Salvadoran official said that
with Panama's presence "we can be a more
competitive region" and reach other markets.
Referring to the significance of Central
American integration, Hill highlighted the
region's potential, with a joint Gross
Domestic Product of $109 billion.
If Panama joined El Salvador, Honduras,
Costa Rica, Guatemala and Nicaragua, the
amount would reach $132 billion.
