The Panamanian balboa is a fixed currency that is pegged to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 exchange rate. This means that the value of the balboa is always equivalent to that of the U.S. dollar in terms of purchasing power. The reason for this is that the economy of Panama is closely tied to that of the United States, and so the government has chosen to use the U.S. dollar as its official currency. As a result, the balboa is simply a local version of the dollar, with the same value and buying power. This close relationship with the U.S. economy has helped to stabilize Panama's currency and attract foreign investment, making it an important player in the global financial market.
