| description |
The Government of Panama and the private
sector recognize the importance of information and
communications technology (ICT) as an enabler of national
development. This ICT sector policy note seeks to identify
opportunities and challenges for growth of the ICT sector in
Panama, particularly on rural access to broadband services
and on cybersecurity, and potential for spillover impacts
across other sectors. It provides a brief overview of the
ICT sector in Panama and outlines a series of strategic
actions and recommendations aimed at leveraging ICT as an
engine of growth by targeting connectivity infrastructure,
policies, regulation, e-Services, public data, and skills.
The report is organized as follows: section one presents ICT
sector in the economy. Section two deals with offer for
connectivity. Section three presents demand. Section four
describes the sector status from the cybersecurity point of
view. Based on these analyses, section five identifies
challenges that are hindering the growth of the industry,
and section six presents policy options to overcome them.
Finally, the World Bank describes the ways it can support
those policy options in section seven and presents a set of
joint activities in section eight. |
