What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Cabinet Council in Panama modified an emergency trust fund on October 30, 2026, to aid reconstruction efforts following the October 9, 2026 earthquake. The amendment allows for direct financing and capital advances to contractors. Previously, disbursements were limited to payments made only after contracts were completed, which required a lengthy bureaucratic process.
