According to Cortizo, the investment of 250 million from Millicom will be an economic and social decision that will provide coverage in places of difficult access that also belong to the Colmena Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cortizo Cohen added that after this work tour the great effort of Panamanians to be facilitators of good investments that bring better opportunities to Panama is confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Ramos said that by working together with the Government, the company will be able to capitalize on efforts to expand access to telecommunications, increase the country&#8217;s competitiveness and create a better and increasingly digital future for all the communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Millicom has chosen Panama as the \u201cFintech Hub\u201d for the entire region with a $250 million investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-living-investing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 -
