United States of America Staff Concluding Statement of the 2024 Article IV Mission

June 27, 2024
The U.S. economy has proven itself to be robust, dynamic, and adaptable to changing global conditions. Activity and employment continue to exceed expectations (notably, relative to those at the time of the 2023 Article IV consultation) and the disinflation process has been considerably less costly than many had feared. Nonetheless, the fiscal deficit is too large, creating a sustained upward trajectory for the public debt-GDP ratio. The ongoing expansion of trade restrictions and insufficient progress in addressing the vulnerabilities highlighted by the 2023 bank failures both pose important downside risks.

Panama: Selected Issues

June 27, 2024
Country Report No. 2024/189  

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2024 Article IV Consultation with Panama

June 27, 2024
Panama grew very rapidly in the two decades preceding COVID-19 but was hit very hard by the pandemic. Between 1994 and 2019, GDP per capita increased from 33 percent of US GDP per capita to 48 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.
