USA
It is one of the few consolidated markets that remains at the top of those chosen by any company. Of course we are talking about a market of 310 million inhabitants with a per capita income of $ 47,200 and brutal consumption habits (private consumption generates 70% of Gross Domestic Product). In addition, it is a country open to trade and foreign investment (except in the case of agri-food products, pharmaceuticals and destined
health, with many barriers to entry).
The crisis has slowed its growth (in 2011 GDP increased by 1.7%), but there are opportunities in sectors that the Obama Administration is trying to promote, which has presented a plan to favor investment in infrastructure, education, innovation and renewable energy.

PANAMA
A small but essential country to expand in Latin America. Due to its geographical location, its political stability, the fiscal and tax incentives it offers and its growth rates (7.5% in 2011). According to the Latino Business Index, it is the number one place to do business in Latin America. Not surprisingly, we are talking about the second largest free zone in the world (only behind Hong Kong). And its weight in the region will continue to increase in the coming years. In fact, the Panamanian Government will allocate more than 21,000 million euros until 2014 in projects to expand the canal, its airports and its road transport routes.

RUSSIA
Russia is recovering from the crisis and its economy is growing apace. In 2011, GDP increased by 4.3% and similar results are expected in the next two years. It is an interesting market because of its proximity and because a part of society with medium, medium-high purchasing power is increasing in large cities, looking for imported and quality products. The best opportunities are concentrated in the consumer goods and agri-food industry, since the local industry is not very competitive in products in which Spanish firms have a very good image, such as furniture, footwear, agri-food or wine.
