It structures analysis around productivity, human capital, employment and innovation, infrastructure and connectivity, and key institutions. The update also examines social exclusion and inequality through vertical and horizontal gaps, environmental sustainability and climate-related vulnerability, and sets policy priorities with high-level objectives for inclusion, resilience, and stronger public sector institutions.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nDocument of  \nThe World Bank Group  \nFOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY  \nPANAMA  \nSYSTEMATIC COUNTRY DIAGNOSTICS UPDATE 2023 (P500142)  \nSeptember 8, 2023  \nCentral America and the Dominican Republic Country Management Unit Latin America and the Caribbean Region  \nThis document has a restricted distribution and may be used by recipients only in the performance of their official duties.
