The President of the Republic, José Raúl Mulino, received on behalf of all Panamanians the dividends from the Panama Canal (ACP) corresponding to the 2025 fiscal year, for a total of B/.2,965 million, which will enter the National Treasury to finance investment projects throughout the country. The figure is composed of B/.2,372 million from the economic surplus of the waterway's operation, B/.591 million from rights per ton, and B/.2 million from public service fees. This contribution exceeds the 2024 figure by B/.500 million, thanks to the increase in daily transits through the Canal, which rose from 25 to 33. The check was presented to the president by Jaime Anderson, a foreman with 17 years of service and a descendant of Antillean immigrants who helped build the waterway. Mulino highlighted the dedication of the workers and stated that the 'canal culture' and generational succession guarantee the future of the country's main company. Accompanying the president were ministers José Ramón Icaza and Felipe Chapman, as well as the ACP administration, during a tour of the Fleet and Equipment Administration and Maintenance Division in Colón, where Mulino spoke with collaborators and recognized their daily effort.
