Wages are much lower than in other, more developed countries. Thanks to this, companies can keep the overhead costs low.

Some countries, such as Panama, have pursued special programs to attract foreign companies by attributing low tax rates to foreign companies willing to invest in the country. This has been a successful strategies which has been adapted by other countries in the region.

Everything is less expensive than where you probably live now. I was so surprised when I moved to the region how inexpensive it was to have a very comfortable live. Real Estate, food, health care cost a fraction of what I used to pay.
