What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Panama utilizes the Sedes de Empresas Multinacionales (SEM) regime to attract foreign companies seeking a regional base in Latin America. This program allows companies to establish a regional office in the country, which is managed by a special unit within the Ministry of Commerce and Industries (MICI). The regime offers companies tax breaks and easier immigration rules for their staff in exchange for establishing operations in Panama.
