U.S. Panama Business Council - Mission & Background
Strengthening the bonds of cooperation between the United States and Panama, and creating Business opportunities for Business Leaders of both nations.
The U.S.-Panama Business Council (USPA) was created to foster business opportunities and understanding between the two countries, especially since the Canal administration transferred to Panama, which has in effect changed the traditional relationship.
Panama is one of the largest countries in Latin America as far as U.S. investments and the U.S. enjoys a positive trade balance with Panama. However, the importance of Panama goes far beyond trade issues into areas such as hemispheric security, the efficient operation of the Panama Canal which impacts U.S. imports and exports, and cooperation with international issues of a political nature.
Why Us?
USPA works to coordinate programs and events specifically designed to strengthen the relationship between the two countries and promote trade and investment.
USPA
Through its affiliations, the Council acts as the principal representative of numerous Panamanian and U.S. companies, facilitating trade and investment between the two nations, and promoting strategic alliances and joint ventures. USPA brings a broad range of expertise to the gamut of business challenges faced by its members when conducting business in Panama or the United States.
