Panama's MEF denies Amador land sale or privatization plans

Panama's Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) has firmly denied any proposals or ongoing processes aimed at selling or privatizing state-owned lands in the Amador district. The ministry clarified that recent property valuations are standard technical and administrative procedures.

These routine assessments are designed to keep the values of state assets current and to enhance their management, according to the MEF. The ministry stressed that these evaluations do not signal any intention toward sale, alienation, or privatization of the properties.

The MEF highlighted Amador's lands as strategic assets vital for national development. Their administration focuses on protection, proper management, and ensuring utilization aligns with public interest. Furthermore, seabed fill areas undergoing regularization are registered with a marginal annotation explicitly prohibiting private appropriation, ensuring they remain national patrimony.
