Government out of time on Farfán

17 years ago

Local sources claim that the proposed Panamanian mega-port of Farfá n will not now be implemented by the current government, which to date has been one of its biggest backers. Numerous attempts to build the port have been paralysed by a number of legal challenges.

This follows the ruling by the competition authorities that the privatisation process can proceed, although no firm timetable has yet been set for the port’s transfer to the private sector.
