He also shared the benefits of an expanded Panama Canal to the shipping industry and international trade at the &#8220;Panama Business Forum: Making investments work in a post-recession world,&#8221; held yesterday in Panama City.<\/p>\n<p>During the forum, which covered global commerce, trade and transportation, Mr. Alem\u00e1n Zubieta also underscored that Panama is building a new Canal to maximize its geographic position. &#8220;There are many opportunities to capture the value of our location, particularly by investing in logistics and infrastructure,&#8221; said Mr. Alem\u00e1n Zubieta. He added, &#8220;Panama offers something very unique to world commerce. It is a port with terminals in two oceans.&#8221; He also spoke about how the Panama Canal is at the center of all this development and the ports on both ends of the Canal, including its network of services such as rail and roads, all contribute to building a solid foundation for Panama which is fast becoming Latin America&#8217;s regional hub.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Panama is in the midst of a booming economy and infrastructure development. A lot of companies have moved their regional headquarters and\/or have set up shop in the capital, Panama City.
