What happened
Panama began distributing earthquake relief payments on October 15, 2026, providing US$10,000 to each district representative and US$20,000 to each municipality. President José Raúl Mulino announced the aid and stated that the state audit office would check the spending.

Why it matters
The payments are intended for direct aid to residents affected by the earthquake. Since Panama operates on the US dollar and hosts many US visitors, the government's control over these public funds is a key factor.
