Since Panama gained control over the Panama Canal  in 1999, its economy got a massive boost. Over the past 10 years skyscrapers have changed its skyline with many high-rise buildings still under construction. The city expanded not only thanks to the revenue generating Panama Canal but also thanks to a stable banking sector, commerce and tourism.
