It will take several quarters to secure long-term growth and even then, there remains years of slack before we return to pre-crisis levels,” says Craig Meyer, managing director and head of Jones Lang LaSalle’s North American Industrial Services team. “However, on a brighter note, increased import activity is helping demand at gateway cities and interior supply network hubs. Also, the credit crisis kept speculative development in check, limiting the number of large blocks of empty logistics space.”

To HBS, point 2-
I, too, have been experiencing a growing interest in Colombia, after living in Panama for 15 years. I also have a few Colombian associates here in Panama that, of course, talk glowingly of their homeland. But it seems nearly impossible to find any information about opportunities in Colombia these days. Any leads?

Excellent. Thanks for the referral. A few thoughts to start dialogue:

1. What about Panama’s status as basically a 51st state of the US? It is completely tied to the $, can’t engage in its own monetary policy, and is dominated by foreign banks. Won’t it go the way of the US?

2. Given what I’ve seen on this site about Colombia, can anybody address why it wouldn’t make sense to move there instead? Cheaper, bigger country, more variety, mountains, less Americanization. Panama is cheaper than Costa Rica but more expensive than Colombia, Mexico and other Latin American countries.
