Panama's government has successfully secured a loan amounting to 1.2 billion euros, equivalent to approximately $1.29 billion, through a subsidiary of Bank of America. The Economy Ministry announced the completion of this significant financial agreement in a statement released on Thursday.
The loan is structured with a two-year maturity period, providing the Panamanian government with essential funds to support its economic initiatives. The ministry confirmed that the financing will be disbursed in its dollar equivalent, reflecting the ongoing strength of the U.S. dollar in international markets.
This strategic move is expected to bolster Panama's fiscal position and enhance its capacity to invest in critical infrastructure projects and social programs. The authorization for the loan was granted last Friday, paving the way for the government to utilize these funds effectively in the coming years. The deal underscores Panama's ongoing efforts to secure favorable financing options in a challenging global economic environment.
