The MICI reports that Anheuser-Busch InBev's initial investment is estimated at US $11.3 million . Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade, Carlos Hoyos, emphasized that the company’s presence will not only bolster Panama's economy but also serve as a catalyst for knowledge transfer and local talent development.

Since its introduction, this law has proven highly successful, attracting over 180 multinational companies and generating approximately €1 billion in investments.
