It includes 90 national and international banks.\u00a0 There is also a competitive Insurance market, and a well regulated Securities market.\u00a0 Thanks to the absence of foreign exchange controls, it is possible to open bank accounts in US Dollars, Euros, or any other foreign currency, making Panama\u2019s International Banking Centre one of the most attractive and stable in the region.<\/p>

Legal System<\/strong><\/p>

Panama has a Codified-Civil Law system.\u00a0 The Panamanian Civil Code, adopted in 1917, was inspired in the Spanish Civil Code of 1899, which in turn was inspired by the French Napoleon Code of 1804.<\/p>

The Constitution was created in 1972, and was modified in 1978, 1983, 1994 and 2004.\u00a0 The Supreme Court of Justice is the guardian of the integrity of the Constitution, and has the power and authority to strike down as Unconstitutional, laws enacted by the National Assembly, Administrative and other acts by the Executive Branch, or any other act by any other official authority in the Republic.<\/p>

Tax System<\/strong><\/p>

Panama has a system of territorial taxation, that is, Panama only taxes income from activities whose legal effects take place within the territory of Panama.\u00a0 Any activities whose legal effects take place outside Panama, are not subject to Income Tax, even if they were performed in or from Panama.\u00a0 The nationality of the person perceiving the income is not a factor.<\/p><\/div>

\"\"Panama has a Republican and Unitary (not Federal) type of government.\u00a0 Government is composed of three branches: the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch and the Judicial Branch.<\/p>

The President and the Ministers comprise the Executive Branch.\u00a0 The President is elected by popular vote for a period of five years.<\/p>

The Legislative Power is exercised by the National Assembly, composed of 71 Legislators (called \u201cDiputados\u201d), who are elected by popular vote every five years, and their terms in office coincide with that of the President.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Judicial Branch is headed by the Supreme Court of Justice, consisting of nine magistrates, each of them appointed for a period of ten years.\u00a0 The appointment of magistrates is made by the President, and must be ratified by amajority in the National Assembly.<\/p>

There is an Electoral Court (Tribunal Electoral) totally independent and autonomous from the other Branches, charged with the organization and calling of all elections. It is also responsible for announcing election results.\u00a0 The Electoral Court also maintains the registery of voters, where every citizen with the right to vote is listed.\u00a0 In Panama, every national [natural? citizen?] person who is at least eighteen years of age has the right to vote.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
