No means Maybe for Odebrecht
Post Views: 144NOTHING seems to shake the determination of the scandal-plagued Odebrecht construction giant to add to the nearly $3 billion in contracts from the Panama State and Panama city.In spite of warnings that the Executive approved an order in December 2016 prohibiting the company from bidding for State contracts it has already attended four approval meetings, reports La Prensa.
The company, which has recognized the payment of bribes to win contracts in multiple countries, including Panama, was among the 11 construction companies that attended to the approval meeting of the Ministry of Works Public to clarify the specifications of the tender to rehabilitate 80.3 kilometers of highway in Chiriquí, with a reference price f $49 million.

Panama signs tax avoidance convention
Post Views: 183PANAMA and high-level officials from Barbados, Côte d’Ivoire, Jamaica, Malaysia, and Tunisia have signed an OECD Multilateral Convention to reduce opportunities for tax avoidance by multinational enterprises.The Convention is the first multilateral treaty of its kind, allowing jurisdictions to integrate results from the OECD/G20 BEPS Project into their existing networks of bilateral tax treaties. “Today’s signing of the multilateral convention is another major step towards updating the international tax rules through the swift implementation of the BEPS package,” said OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría. “Beyond saving signatories from the burden of re-negotiating thousands of tax treaties bilaterally, the convention results in more certainty and predictability for businesses, and a better functioning international tax system for the benefit of our citizens.”

New women judges said good for Panama
Moore and Tovar listen to denunciationsPost Views: 89THE RATIFICATION by Panama’s National Assembly of two women nominees as Supreme Court judges would be a great step for the Court “and for equality between men and women in our country.” said Vice President Isabel de Saint Malo on her Twitter account.Saint Malo also noted that “9 countries in Latin America have judicial bodies whose composition of women is 30% or more.”
On Wednesday, January 24, after a series of bruising meetings when the nominees sat through denunciations of their suitability followed by harrowing, often unrelated, questioning by some deputies, the Credentials Commission narrowly approved the ratification of the appointment of Judges Zuleyka Moore and Ana Lucrecia Tovar.
The lawyers received the support of the ruling party. Four of the five votes in favor were issued by the Panameñistas Luis Eduardo Quirós, Adolfo Valderrama, Jorge Iván Arrocha and Jorge Alberto Rosas. While the additional vote was José Muñoz, Cambio Democrático (CD) and founder of his own party (Alianza).
The approval of Moore and Tovar,) to replace Jerónimo Mejía in the Criminal Chamber and Oydén Ortega in the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court will be debated in a National Assembly plenary where they can expect more verbal sticks, stones and arrows.

Panama: NO to Companies Condemned in Other Countries
A new law initiative pretends to forbid the participation of companies that have been convicted in other countries for crimes against the public administration in contracts with the State.
Thursday, January 25, 2018
The bill that was presented on January 23, requests the modification of texts in the legal framework that regulate Panamanian public procurement, to avoid awarding contracts to companies that are accused of acts of corruption in Panama and also abroad.
From the introduction of the bill:
" ... we deem it opportune to propose the inclusion of grounds for the legal incapacity to contract, through an addition of numeral 9 to article 16 of Law 61 of 2017, since although there was a recent reform, [the text] only included as a cause of inability to contract the existence of a judicial sentence of conviction within the national territory."
" ... the proposal is to introduce, through the addition of numeral 10, the obligation of the contractor to make an affidavit stating that they have not been convicted of crimes against the public administration within the territory of the Republic of Panama or abroad."

Lawmakers arrogance mocks justice crisis
Creeping justicePost Views: 171WEDNESDAY’S session of the Assembly Credentials Committee should have served for an enlightened exchange between the deputies and the magistrates appointed to the Supreme Court of Justice. Instead, some deputies gave a show a childish arrogance. At times, the session seemed like a theater of horror, directed to humiliate the candidates and their substitutes. The insistence on trivial questions and veiled threats confirmed the perception that the best interests of the deputies were not to promote a sound administration of justice, but rather to corner the jurists. They spoke of both ethical faults and conflicts of interest and seemed to forget that they themselves are a true reflection of these problems.After the circus show of yesterday, it is becoming more and more evident where they are able to arrive in order to exhibit a power that they themselves usurp with their questions of illegitimacy while they are questioned by their lack of probity in the exercise of their functions as deputies. It goes now to the full decision [in the Assembly] hopefully in a serious debate – while the Panamanian justice system is still immersed in the biggest crisis in our history… LA PRENSA- Jan. 15.

Martinelli could be in Panama by April – lawyer
Martinelli awaiting the decisionRicardo Martinelli could be back in Panama no later than April, according to lawyer Sidney Sitton, who is part of the defense team of the ex-president.The latest statement in the flip-flop farce came on Thursday, January 25, the day after Martinelli spokesman, Luis Eduardo Camacho had said that the former CD leader would be appealing the Jan. 22 decision of a judge, confirming his extradition.
Sitton said on AM News that after the Tuesday hearing the defense team talked with their client and explained that the case for which he is being processed [wiretaps] was “easy to face in Panama” because it is flawed.
If the bail is granted Martinelli’s defense, would not change his decision to return to Panama, according to what was agreed at the two-hour meeting held on Tuesday January 22, when the hearing concluded.
Sitton said that if the judge decides to grant bail, she should pass it to the Department of State to do the political-administrative process for the extradition, but it would be done under freedom.
Once Martinelli arrives in Panama, he goes before a judge in the Supreme Court of Justice, later he would resign from the Central American Parliament (Parlacen) and will go to the ordinary courts and the case would be treated under the Accusatory Penal System (SPA), said Sitton

Panama: Actions Proposed for Economic Reactivation
Speeding up the execution of public projects and creating a public-private entity that enhances exports, are some of the proposals put forward by the business association to reactivate different economic sectors.
Tuesday, January 23, 2018
From a statement issued by the Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture of Panama:
Although we expect growth of the Panamanian economy of approximately 5.4% for this year 2018, such increase continues to be supported by economic sectors linked to foreign trade, such as the Panama Canal, ports and airports.
As a representative organization of the country's private entrepreneurial effort, the Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture of Panama (CCIAP) reiterates its concern about the problems that hamper the progress of sectors long marginalized by policies that discourage their permanence and certainly threaten their productive continuity, such as the industrial and agricultural sectors. The same is true for other slowdowns such as trade, tourism, construction and real estate, which also require new perspectives in the future.

Is Panama Burned Out?
One of the best parameters of the strength of an economy is the amount of businesses it creates. In Panama, 47% fewer companies were created in 2017 than in 2016.
Tuesday, January 23, 2018
Not only were fewer companies were created in 2017, but more companies were closed than in 2016.
Although growth of the economy in general still remains above 5% -still far from the vigorous 10% of a few years ago- other macro data, such as the increase in unemployment and the growth of independent or informal work, shows that, starting in 2018, Panama has entered a phase of economic slowdown. Businessmen in the commerce sector are even talking about "recession", both in retail and in wholesale sales.The Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture of Panama (CCIAP) reiterated "its concern about the problems that are hampering the progress of sectors long marginalized by policies that discourage their permanence and certainly threaten their productive continuity, such as industry and agriculture. The same is true for other slowdowns such as in trade, tourism, construction and real estate, which also require new perspectives in the future," at the same time as proposing different measures to boost the economy. See "Panama: Actions Proposed for Economic Reactivation"
An article on Prensa.com reports that "For the economist Rolando Gordón the increase in unemployment is closely linked to the number of notices of cancellation of operations last year. He indicated that higher costs in electricity bills, as well as in other inputs could have had an impact on the closure of these companies."

Anti-corruption protesters target Attorney General
Post Views: 101SCORES of Panama citizens used their lunch hour on Tuesday, January 23 to continue the “enough is enough” protest against corruption and impunity that began on the Cinta Costera on Jan 9.By coincidence, the demonstration began shortly before ex-president Ricardo Martinelli appeared in court in Miami to hear a US Federal judge endorse an earlier decision that he should be deported to Panama to face trial,
Martinelli, is widely believed to have been the leader and biggest benefactor of a “den of thieves” who pillaged the nation’s treasury, and whom he described on CNN as a “cabinet of businessmen”
The protesters assembled outside the offices of Attorney General Kenia Porcell and while their numbers fell far short of the 10,000 who gathered on the Coastal Strip two weeks earlier they made up for the shortfall with drums, tambourines and creativity in the production of banners carrying their message,
The announced purpose of the latest public outcry was to get Porcell to release the names of over 50 members of the previous administration -and potentially some in the present- who are under investigation for accepting bribes from the Odebrecht construction company that received billions of State dollars.
Among the protesters were representatives of various sectors of organized civil society, who vociferously repudiated corruption cases that have shaken the country and drained state coffers.
Guillermo Marquez Amado, a former magistrate of the Electoral Tribunal, said that the latest gathering was to keep the memory alive among the citizenship that the Attorney General’s office is in default with its promise to disclose “the list of members of society that have committed acts of delinquency…
“Panamanians need to know who, among us, hurt us,” he said.
“The other issue is the financing that could have been given to political parties and candidates in the last campaign and that should also be a matter of public knowledge, “he said.
Allegations have surfaced that the Democratic Change presidential candidate. Domingo Arias, and then-candidate Juan Carlos Varela received campaign funding from Odebrecht.
Estrella de Calvo, a 78-year-old said “We are tired of “corruption” and
the country does not want more “companies handing out bribes or corrupt politicians. Enough is enough.”
He is sovereign and we have decided to put an end to this, “the retired woman added.
Rafael Zevallos, one of the organizers, said the issue of corruption is very complex and is not limited to a list. He said that another issue for which they ask for pronouncements is that they no longer prosecute all corruption cases; the cases should be resolved in the courts but there should be jail sentences.
Others complained about cosy deals in which the wealthy corrupt were able to avoid prison by paying money from the loot they had stolen.”

Martinelli flip-flops on return to face music
Martinelli . One more roundPost Views: 198JUST 24 HOURS after the lead lawyer for former Panama President Ricardo Martinelli announced that his client would be making no more appeals against extradition and would return to Panama to face justice his former government PR flack said that Martinelli will ask for bail and will appeal Tuesday’s ruling by US Judge Marcia G. Cooke, confirming his extradition.The flip-flop announcement comes from Luis Eduardo Camacho. in a statement made in Miami to Efe News Agency following a meeting with Martinelli in the Miami detention center where he has been held since June 12.
Camacho said on Wednesday that at this point in the process it would not make sense to ask for bail if there was no intention to continue fighting extradition.
“Those who expected that Martinelli was down, were wrong. Today I found him with a lot of enthusiasm, evaluating scenarios and making decisions.” Camacho said.
Although judge gave thumbs down to an appeal filed by Martinelli’s defense against the decision of Judge Edwin Torres, who in August gave the green light to the extradition, Cooke indicated that she was willing to consider a new request for bail for the ex-ruler.
According to Camacho, Martinelli, who is required to respond in Panama to crimes related to illegal wiretapping during his Presidency “will use the door opened” by Cooke.
The judge gave the defense until February 6 to decide whether or not to appeal her ruling.
Camacho said: “In life success or failure is not a matter of luck but of identifying opportunities and taking advantage of them, ” in a statement very different from the one made Tuesday by lawyer Sydney Sitton.
After the court hearing, Sitton told Efe in Miami that Martinelli had decided not to appeal anymore, and voluntarily return to Panama regardless of what Judge Cooke decided.
The same day Camacho replied that Martinelli had not made a decision, but he analyzed several “scenarios” with lawyers and collaborators.
Referring to Wednesday’s meeting in jail, said that the former president’s mood reflected his favorite saying:”Always be willing to fight one more round.”
Martinelli is wanted for embezzlement and illegal eavesdropping.
Currently in Panama is another case against Martinelli, this for the alleged irregular granting of more than 300 pardons, which may lead to another request for extradition, although it has been appealed by his lawyers.

Moody’s gives Canal expansion thumbs up
Post Views: 274MEXICO January 22, – Eighteen months after the expansion of the Panama Canal began to operate, its performance exceeded expectations. According to a new Moody’s Investors Service report, the total tonnage of the channel increased 22% in fiscal year 2017 (from October 2016 to September 2017), as its capacity more than doubled, with a clear positive credit impact.The performance of the Panama Canal Authority (ACP, A2 stable) exceeded the projections, with an increase of 15% of revenues in fiscal year 2017, which resulted in financial indicators stronger than expected. “Solid performance will have a domino effect on US ports and cargo ships, and international trade will further benefit the channel,” says Adrián Garza, Vice President and Senior Analyst at Moody’s.
The ACP expects revenues to exceed $ 3 billion for fiscal year 2018. Thanks to its strong performance, the ACP registers better-than-expected financial indicators, which supports its high credit quality.
The tonnage of cargo that crossed the channel reached a record of 402.8 million CP / SUAB (volume measurement of the Universal System of Ship Arcing of the Panama Canal) in fiscal year 2017, the largest annual tonnage in history and 22% higher than the previous year. This increase is also significant given that the tonnage of the ACP was relatively stable over the last 10 years, with a compound annual growth rate of 1%.
LPG carrier passing through canal
The channel also benefits from growth in certain business segments thanks to the new locks. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) grew 147% and represented 7% of the total tonnage in fiscal year 2017 compared to 4% in 2016. LPG accounted for 4% of total tonnage, compared to 0.5% the previous year.
Challenges
For Moody’s, although there are still challenges, including the legal dispute related to the expansion, the ACP’s solid financial position partially compensates for these challenges.http://www.newsroompanama.com/business/panama-4/moodys-gives-canal-expansion-thumbs

They have underlined as the main motive the commitments acquired at “high political level” o solve the doubts of the community block.
