PANAMA CITY: Panama’s economy grew 4.6 percent in the first quarter compared to the same period in 2015, the government said in a report on Friday.
The Central American nation’s quarterly economic expansion was driven by growth in financial services, construction, electricity and mining activity, according to the report.
