La “economía de expatriados”: un mercado con potencial para seguir creciendo en Panamá
La “economía de los expatriados” ya mueve más de $1.800 millones y se consolidó como el segmento de mayor dinamismo dentro del mercado residencial, de acuerdo con un estudio de la consultora Indesa.
Afirma que la demanda combina compras de vivienda, gastos cotidianos y servicios dirigidos a residentes internacionales.
Esta oportunidad surge de un proceso que empieza con el turismo: una parte de los visitantes prolonga su estadía y luego decide invertir o establecerse en el país.
Indesa sostiene que este ciclo está elevando el peso de los compradores extranjeros en las viviendas de mayor valor y abre negocios más allá del sector inmobiliario.
La inversión extranjera en el mercado residencial superó los $841 millones en 2025, según datos de Indesa Analytics.
Esa cifra, explica, representó un aumento de 53% frente a 2019 y avanzó a un ritmo superior al de la demanda interna en el segmento de propiedades con precios mayores a $120.000.
Durante el primer trimestre de 2026, las adquisiciones realizadas por extranjeros llegaron a $205 millones. El volumen registró un alza interanual de 17%.
La participación de esos compradores alcanzó el 57% del segmento residencial superior a $120.000, el nivel más alto de la serie elaborada por la firma consultora.
Los extranjeros que participan en ese mercado buscan principalmente una inversión o una residencia para el retiro, se indica.
Estados Unidos pasó a liderar la demanda internacional durante los primeros tres meses de 2026.
Los compradores de ese país destinaron $33,6 millones a operaciones inmobiliarias, con un crecimiento de 53% respecto del mismo período del año anterior.
El resultado marcó la primera ocasión en que Estados Unidos superó a Colombia y Venezuela, los dos países que habían encabezado históricamente la demanda extranjera de vivienda en Panamá.
La mediana del precio de venta también distingue a los compradores estadounidenses y europeos. Para los primeros se ubicó en $259.000, mientras que entre los europeos llegó a $310.000.
La actividad vinculada con los expatriados no se limita a la compra de inmuebles. La consultora calcula que los extranjeros residentes con ingresos mensuales superiores a $4.000 generan un gasto corriente anual de $990 millones.
Ese consumo incluye necesidades asociadas con la instalación y permanencia en el país. La demanda abarca asesoramiento patrimonial y migratorio, servicios residenciales, propuestas de bienestar y consumo de productos y experiencias de mayor precio.
Indesa remarcó que el residente internacional requiere una oferta que acompañe distintas etapas de su llegada. La adquisición de una propiedad es solo una parte de un mercado más amplio, que depende de la facilidad para tramitar documentos, encontrar vivienda y acceder a servicios adaptados a ese perfil.
La firma plantea que la capacidad de atender esas necesidades puede definir qué países captan una porción mayor de la demanda regional por movilidad, retiro e inversión residencial.
El flujo turístico mostró un crecimiento de 19,7% interanual en el primer trimestre de 2026. El repunte siguió al incremento de 11,6% registrado durante 2025.
En ese período se consolidó el turismo procedente de Estados Unidos, identificado por Indesa como el de mayor crecimiento desde 2019. Ese movimiento se refleja después en el interés por estadías más largas, inmuebles y residencia.
Manifiesta la consultora que el programa Stopover de Copa Airlines tuvo un papel en la dinamización de ese flujo, según el análisis de la consultora. El turismo es hoy la principal fuente de divisas de Panamá después de la Zona Libre de Colón.
La brecha entre el tránsito aéreo y la llegada efectiva de visitantes muestra un margen de crecimiento. El Aeropuerto Internacional de Tocumen moviliza cerca de 20 millones de pasajeros por año, mientras que Panamá recibe 2,3 millones de turistas internacionales.
Para Indesa, esa diferencia revela una conversión todavía limitada entre los pasajeros que pasan por el país y quienes lo eligen como destino. El desafío, afirma, consiste en transformar una parte mayor de esa conectividad en turismo, estadías prolongadas, residencia e inversión.

Trump-backed candidate wins high-stakes GOP primary for New Hampshire battleground district
Trump’s influence tested in Kentucky primary
Fox News correspondent Mark Meredith reports from Lexington, Ky., detailing the Republican primary race between Rep. Thomas Massie and Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein on ‘Special Report.’

President Donald Trump scored a key victory in New Hampshire on Tuesday night, with his chosen candidate winning the GOP primary for one of the state’s two battleground congressional districts.
Businessman Anthony DiLorenzo defeated Novel Iron Works owner Hollie Noveletsky and state Rep. Brian Cole to clinch the Republican nomination for the Granite State’s 1st U.S. House district.
EX-NFL STAR BACKED BY TRUMP WINS BATTLEGROUND STATE PRIMARY: ‘TRUE AMERICA FIRST CONSERVATIVE’
The race has been contentious on both sides of the aisle for the open seat, which is currently occupied by Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., who is running for the U.S. Senate.

STATE OF PLAY: DEMS BATTLE FOR SHOT AT CRUCIAL ARIZONA HOUSE SEAT AMID GOP’S RAZOR-THIN MAJORITY
As a result of his U.S. Senate run, Pappas is leaving the House, opening a moderately blue seat that the nonpartisan Cook Partisan Voting Index rates D+2. That means it does lean in favor of Democrats, but the right Republican candidate could sweep come November.
New Hampshire only has two congressional districts, with the 1st being the smaller of the two geographically. It includes part of southern New Hampshire, including Manchester, the state’s most populous city. New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District is notably a seat that former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt ran for in 2022. Pappas defeated her by just under 10%.

The three candidates running for the GOP nomination in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District largely overlapped on most issues during their debates. But the most recent face-off, hosted by local station WMUR earlier this month, saw DiLorenzo become a target over his stance on illegal immigration.
Noveletsky and Cole both seized on DiLorenzo’s comments on «The Granite Discourse» podcast in which he suggested that deporting illegal immigrants should focus on felons and violent criminals over those who did not commit crimes since getting to the U.S., according to NHJournal.
«Unlike Anthony, who is on record on Granite Discourse saying that if somebody came here illegally and was working that they should have a path, I disagree,» Noveletsky said during the debate.

TRUMP KEEPS WINNING REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES; HIS LOSSES MAY BE MORE REVEALING
DiLorenzo said he supported deporting people who came to the U.S. illegally and added, «I would start with the dangerous people, the criminals, the drug dealers, the human traffickers. The law is clear, and I support law enforcement and the enforcement of our laws.»
Trump endorsed DiLorenzo in July, writing on Truth Social, «As a very successful Businessman and Entrepreneur, Anthony understands the America First Policies required to Create GREAT Jobs, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., and Champion our Nation’s Golden Age.»

DiLorenzo was also endorsed by House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn.
Noveletsky, meanwhile, was endorsed by a slew of New Hampshire state officials as well as House Rules Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., according to her campaign website.

Hungary has demanded that 10 individuals with the Russian mission depart the country.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Orban — who is not related to Hungary’s former Prime Minister Viktor Orban — noted in a post on X that the 10 people had participated in actions that were «unacceptable» according to the Vienna Convention.
«Acting on my instructions, on Tuesday the relevant official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed the Russian ambassador to Hungary that, according to the assessment of the Hungarian authorities, 10 members of the Russian mission had engaged in activities in Hungary that are unacceptable for diplomats under the Vienna Convention.

Fraudulent CDL training schools face a massive federal crackdown as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy details enforcement actions. Under the Trump administration, the Department of Transportation shut down more than 110 driving schools and revoked over 30,000 commercial driver’s licenses illegally issued to immigrants. Additionally, Duffy addresses lawsuits from several states opposing federal database access.

FIRST ON FOX — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is launching a new tipline for Americans to report suspected commercial driver’s license (CDL) fraud as the Trump administration ramps up its crackdown on unqualified truckers following a series of deadly crashes involving illegal immigrants.
ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations announced the official CDL fraud tipline Tuesday, Fox News Digital learned.
Americans can report suspected fraud by calling 866-347-2423.
The new tipline comes as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) have expanded efforts to identify illegal immigrants and other unqualified drivers operating commercial vehicles on American roads.
OUT OF CONTROL, UNQUALIFIED ILLEGAL ALIEN TRUCKERS ENDANGERING KIDS ON US ROADS, INSIDER WARNS: ‘JUST MADNESS’
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it would join the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) in its mission to crack down on fraudulent and illegal practices in commercial driver’s license (CDL) schools. (Department of Homeland Security)
DHS pointed Fox News Digital to cases involving illegal immigrants who received CDLs from states including California, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania before later being involved in fatal crashes or arrested in connection with other alleged crimes.
«Too many American lives have been lost or permanently changed because illegal aliens who have no business being on our roads have been granted CDLs,» DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S IMMIGRATION PUSH FUELS ICE’S BIGGEST ARREST MONTH IN AGENCY HISTORY
«ICE and our federal partners, including the Department of Transportation, will be cracking down on CDL fraud so that not one more American life is lost to a reckless illegal alien behind the wheel of a semi-truck. You can help save American lives and make our roads safer by dialing ICE’s new CDL fraud tipline today.»
DHS also shared details behind several deadly crashes that officials say point to the concerns behind the Trump administration’s crackdown.

Another case cited by the department left four people dead in Indiana.

Bekzhan Beishekeev, an illegal immigrant from Kyrgyzstan, swerved into oncoming traffic in February and caused a head-on collision that killed four people, according to DHS. The department said Pennsylvania had granted Beishekeev a commercial driver’s license before the crash. ICE arrested him that month.
In Oregon, Rajinder Kumar, an illegal immigrant from India, jackknifed his trailer in November 2025 in a crash that killed a newlywed couple, according to DHS. The department said Kumar had been granted a CDL by California and was arrested by ICE in April 2026.

And in Florida, Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, made an illegal U-turn in a tractor-trailer in August 2025, causing a crash that killed three people, according to DHS. The department said California had granted Singh a CDL.
The tipline is the latest step in a broader federal crackdown on commercial trucking fraud and unqualified drivers.

In August, DHS said the second wave of Operation Highway Shield removed more than 800 truckers from U.S. roads, including 51 illegal immigrants, during a three-day operation.
A separate three-day operation in Oklahoma in October 2025 resulted in the arrests of 120 illegal immigrants, including 91 who were operating commercial vehicles with CDLs, according to DHS.
DHS and DOT have also targeted fraudulent and illegal practices at CDL schools nationwide as part of the Trump administration’s broader crackdown.
