After a Two-Year Hiatus: Panama Returns to Global Bond Market

Panama is re-entering the global bond market for the first time since President Jose Raul Mulino assumed office nearly two years ago highlighting that this move marks the end of a period during which the government focused on securing bank loans instead of issuing bonds. The decision to sell global bonds is seen as a strategic shift in Panama’s financial approach, aiming to diversify its funding sources and potentially improve its fiscal stability.

This development comes amid a broader context of economic adjustments and financial strategies being implemented by the Panamanian government. The bond sale is expected to attract international investors, reflecting confidence in Panama’s economic prospects and governance under President Mulino’s administration. The return to the bond market is anticipated to have significant implications for Panama’s financial landscape, influencing both domestic and international economic relations.
