## Retiree discounts (Law 6 of 1987)

Panama’s retiree law sets discounts in several areas of daily life. The exact percentages have been amended over time and a reform is under debate, so we send you the current table rather than repeat outdated figures.

- Entertainment: movies, theater, sports and shows
- Public transport and domestic flights
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Medicines and medical services
- Utilities and other services

Ask us for the current discount table: we verify it against the law in force before sending it.
