1.
The Panama Papers are a large number of leaked confidential documents relating to offshore tax avoidance structures and participating individuals and corporations.


A term used in foreign exchange rate quotation.
The Panama Papers were publicised by the ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'' in Germany in 2016.


Consider the historical FX quote of 1 GBP = USD 1.4598 - 1.4602.


The base currency is GBP.
The documents were leaked from a law firm and corporate services provider headquartered in Panama.


The inversion of this FX quote means expressing the same price, but with the other currency as the base currency (USD here).
So 1 USD = GBP [1/1.4602] - [1/1.4598]
1 USD = GBP 0.6848 - 0.6850.
2.
In any market, the reversal of a normal - or commonly expected - relationship.
For example the situation of an Inverse yield curve, where longer maturities of funds are trading at LOWER yields than shorter-dated maturities (being the opposite of the normally expected upward-sloping relationship).
