The Panama Diamond Exchange has launched its official website, located on the web at pde.com.pa. Operating in English, Spanish and Portuguese, it is designed to serve as a comprehensive resource for members of the diamond, colored gemstone and jewelry industries looking for information about PDE, the Panama Gem & Jewelry Center and the gemstone and jewelry sectors in Panama and Latin America.

The new website features four primary sections, respectively providing information about:

• The Panama Diamond Exchange, Latin America’s first and only diamond bourse;
• The Panama Gem & Jewelry Center, which is currently under construction and when its first phase opens later this year will be the only dedicated diamond, colored gemstone and jewelry center in a region that includes South and Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean;
• The Republic of Panama, with a special emphasis on its economy and the procedures required for setting up a business in the Free Zone associated with PDE and the Panama Gem & Jewelry Center;
• The fast-growing luxury and jewelry markets of Latin America.

Also featured on the website are a news and events section, providing up-to-date information about PDE and the Panamanian trading center, and a Press section, providing background information, downloadable high-resolution photographs and video material for the use of the professional media.

The new PDE website allows users to flip easily from language to language and can be viewed on a standard computer, tablet computer and smart phone.

Together with the inauguration of its new website, PDE has released a six-minute video clip, showing scenes from the launch last month of the Panama Gem & Jewelry Center in Panama City, including footage of the first Latin America Diamond & Jewelry Summit. It can be seen below.
