Panama to the world: Latinex launches its new International Listing service

August 12, 2025. Panama is consolidating its position as a key player in the Latin American financial ecosystem, thanks to its robust international banking center, dollarized economy, legal framework favorable to foreign investment, and strategic geographic location. These elements have made the country an ideal platform for financial and stock market intermediation.

With a vision focused on local, regional, and global connectivity, Latinex , the Latin American Stock Exchange, is taking a historic step by launching its new International Listing service , positioning Panama as the first stock exchange in Latin America to offer this solution. This service strengthens the competitiveness of the Panamanian market and opens doors for issuers to access global institutional investors from a reliable, agile, and efficient jurisdiction, attracting international fixed-income issuances under the regulatory frameworks of Regulation S and/or 144A of the United States.

“The launch of our International Listing service marks a strategic milestone in consolidating Panama as a financial hub with a global reach . At Latinex, we continue to innovate with solutions that respond to market dynamics, offering a modern and competitive alternative for international issuers, with a proposition based on efficiency, transparency, and international standards that place us on par with the world’s leading financial centers.” Olga Cantillo, CEO of Latinex.

A solution aligned with international standards

This service allows issuers to list their international debt issuances without needing to access the regulated market, thanks to a secondary market registration exemption granted by the Superintendency of the Securities Market of Panama (SMV) through Agreement No. 7-2024 . In addition, Latinex has been recognized as a Designated Offshore Securities Market by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) , reinforcing its international reach and credibility.

International listing is especially relevant for institutional investors who require that the securities they acquire be listed on an organized market to comply with their investment policies.
