Between January and November 2025, the Administrative Unit of Reverted Assets (UABR) of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) achieved a 74% increase in revenue compared to the same period of the previous year, registering a total of $25,696,218.33 for the National Treasury.
In this context, the accumulated current revenues of the UABR amounted to $7,797,488.04 between January and November 2025, while in the same period of 2024, the figure was $6,147,760.81.
Jorge Antonio Díaz Guerra, executive secretary of the UABR, explained that this year the unit recovered delinquent rent portfolio of the Panamanian State in the reverted areas and carried out sales processes for both housing and land lots.
He pointed out that there was goodwill from tenants who had debts for several years and, after the collection management, responded to their obligations.
The National Treasury, through the UABR, receives income from commercial concessions, leases of lots and lands, concessions to NGOs, leases on the Amador Causeway, sales through public auctions, sales through an exceptional procedure, and sales through a first option to purchase, a facility granted to tenants with many years of business relationship with the unit.
He noted that excluding these extraordinary revenues, current collection also increased by 21% in favor of the National Treasury compared to the year 2024.
The accumulated figure for 2025 was positively impacted by the sale of assets, which are not recurring income for the unit, for an amount of $17.6 million.
"We began to review the delinquent portfolio, update the collection procedure manuals, and based on that, we executed a fairly aggressive collection management, which motivated people to come and pay, in addition to the sales," Díaz Guerra highlighted.
