Executive Summary – Panama Finance Vice-Minister Frank De Lima said that Panama intends to sign tax treaties allowing for the sharing of banking information with at least 10 nations to get out from under OECD sanctions. This is what we have been predicting. They will sign before they get blacklisted.
The OECD is waiting to actually see the verbage used in these treaties before agreeing to let them off of the hook according to Jeffrey Owens the director of the OECD tax policy department. Spain, Mexico, Switzerland, Belgium and Canada have expressed interest in signing tax treaties with Panama.

Analysis – Rest assured that the USA, UK, France, Germany, and Australia will want in on these tax treaties. Panama can try to sign treaties with obscure nations to keep the lions share of their banking clients in Panama but the big members of the OECD will not sit still for this. They need money badly and want at those banking records to get revenue. I think Panama will cave in completely and do what the OECD wants them to do. This will leave their duty free zone in Colon intact and the Panama Canal will remain under their control.
What To Do - As we have been saying all along close your bank accounts before the tax treaties are signed. The new tax treaties should not be retroactive in that this would make them unconstitutional. If the bank account is closed before enactment of the new treaties it should still be covered by the old bank secrecy laws and not affected by the new tax treaties.
