Es la primera vez que Panamá accede al grado de inversión, Fitch le concede un BBB-negativo. Las reformas fiscales y la resistencia de la economía de Panamá son las principales causas de ésta nueva calificación.
Panama has earned an investment-grade credit rating from Fitch Ratings for the first time.
Fitch is raising Panama by one notch to "BBB-minus."
Fitch said Tuesday that this reflects a sustained improvement in public finances in the Central American nation.
It also cited recent tax reforms and the country's economic resilience amid the global financial crisis.
The upgrade is a victory for conservative President Ricardo Martinelli, who has pushed two tax reforms through Congress since taking office last year.
