Abstract

The identity of a country is intricately tied to its geography. Following this premise, this text provides a comprehensive overview of Panama's economy and its direct correlation with the Panama Canal's operations. Situated in the narrowest part of the continent, Panama serves as a crucial nexus connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans for maritime transportation. Additionally, its central location in the Americas positions the country as a focal point for the advancement of transportation, commerce, and financial activities. The functioning of the canal holds paramount importance for Panama's economy; it serves as a significant revenue source for the government, a key tourist attraction, and a major generator of employment opportunities for the Panamanian population. In summary, this text highlights, with empirical data, how Panama's economic landscape and the livelihoods of its citizens are inexorably intertwined with its geographical space. Furthermore, it highlights that the nation's future economic outlook presents an auspicious opportunity for any venture seeking to establish a presence in this country.
