Government and Transporters Meet to Define New Fuel Prices

The Panamanian government held a meeting with transport sector leaders at the Presidential Palace to define the implementation of the new fuel pricing scheme announced recently. The meeting brought together government representatives and transporters, who seek to clarify the scope of the measure, especially regarding 95-octane gasoline, widely used in the sector. Key discussion points include how the system will be applied and its impact on the operational costs of transporters, including taxi drivers and public transport operators. Transporters have expressed concerns about the measure and await concrete answers from authorities once the meeting concludes. It is expected that official statements will be made at the end of the meeting to clarify the scope of the announced policy and its implementation in the coming days.
