During the inaugural event, public and private sector representatives highlighted the impact of the ACOBIR Real Estate Expo as a key platform to boost the national economy, attract local and foreign investment, and strengthen confidence in the Panamanian real estate market. The ACOBIR Real Estate Expo 2026 was officially inaugurated this Thursday at the Panama Convention Center, in an event attended by ministers, vice ministers, government authorities, association presidents, and special guests.
