(IDEX Online) - On the face of it, Panama certainly seems like a logical place for a new diamond exchange. Fr om the southern tip of Argentina, relatively close to the South Pole, all the way to Mexico and including the Caribbean, there is not a single diamond bourse. According to estimates, this is a market with diamond jewelry sales valued at around $8 billion, so it is certainly a huge region wh ere diamond firms and jewelers can make money. And the Panama Gem & Jewelry Center, with the Panama Diamond Exchange, the only WFDB-affiliated diamond bourse in the entire region, at its heart, has been specifically designed to provide the missing infrastructure.
