Panama: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2024 Article IV Mission

March 4 , 2024
In the two decades preceding the pandemic, Panama advanced in income convergence, with Panama’s income ratio to the US increasing from thirty-three to forty-eight percent. Rapid growth was driven by an unprecedented construction and investment boom that included major construction projects, such as the enlargement of the Panama Canal and the Tocumen airport, and the expansion of the services and logistics sectors that benefited from those projects. From the supply side, convergence was in large part supported by a sharp increase in the employment to population rate. This was the result of a demographic transition, an increase in female labor force participation, and a significant drop in unemployment.

St. Kitts and Nevis: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2024 Article IV Mission

March 1 , 2024
St. Kitts and Nevis continues to recover from the pandemic and cost of living crisis. The general government has ended 2023 with a surplus, thanks to fiscal prudence and the outperformance of the citizenship-by-investment program (CBI). The outlook is positive, particularly as large-scale renewable energy projects begin to be implemented. Nonetheless, there are still important downside risks ahead potentially from a less hospitable external environment, natural disasters, or CBI underperformance. Increasing the effectiveness of government spending, improving the tax system, setting up a Sustainability and Resilience Fund, and putting in place an explicit fiscal rule would help strengthen the fiscal framework and insulate the country from possible shocks.
