Nicaragua to build rival to Panama Canal
The president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, has put forward a canal project to rival that of the Panama Canal. A new authority has been set up for the project, which should cost around $30bn.
Technical studies, which will determine the real cost, are to be undertaken “soon”.
The state will be able to finance half of the project, said the government, with the rest to be provided by international investors.
