Panamanian banks were prudent and dodged the crisis successfully; they are now full of cash, and eager to lend money.
With close to $13 billion in liquid assets, banks in Panama are getting ready to finance the Government’s large infrastructure projects, which require $2.4 billion in 2010 and $3.2 billion in 2011. In the 5 years of Martinelli’s government, the State is expected to invest around $15.6 billion.

The Panamanian Superintendent of Banks has a pending general license application for the opening of a new bank.
The request was submitted by a group funded with Panamanian capital and, as published in La Prensa which had access to view preliminary reports, the new finance company could be able to begin operations at the end of 2009.
This would be the third bank that is funded by Panamanian capital to enter the local banking system in the last year and a half. La Prensa adds in their article: “It is also known that several of the investors are related to the no longer existing Banistmo Group, which was sold two years ago to HSBC."
