At Ama Panama Realty, we guide our clients with clarity and confidence through every step of their real estate journey in Panama. That’s why we’re excited to share an important development that directly impacts anyone looking to invest, relocate, or retire in Panama.
✅ Panama has officially been removed from the European Union’s list of high-risk countries for money laundering and terrorist financing.
According to STEP.org, this means the EU now recognizes Panama’s significant progress in strengthening its Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) regulations. It follows Panama’s earlier removal from the FATF Grey List in October 2023—a strong signal of trust and stability in Panama’s financial and legal systems.
What Changed?
Panama earned this recognition after implementing serious reforms:
A new beneficial ownership registry
Upgraded AML/CTF standards in line with international best practices
Increased financial transparency and compliance
What It Means for You
This update is more than just a policy change—it’s a green light for smart investors. It means:
✔️ Fewer barriers to international transactions
✔️ A stronger reputation for Panama in the global market
✔️ More confidence when investing in land, homes, and income properties
