Here is a translation of Panama’s new president’s  inaugural speech. We all hope he can keep some if not all of his promises. He is a successful businessman with experience in efficiency and fiscal responsibility and sentiments are high that he can help Panama to benefit from his business acumen by leading the country in a new more responsible direction.  Some tougher economic times are predicted for Panama due to the global crisis but the country already enjoys fiscal stability and low unemployment so things can only improve from here. Most important for expats is open arms policies for foreign investors in Panama and a promise to clean up the bureaucratic bull crap!
