Tower by 2013
PANAMA - Panama intends to have a financial
tower in 2013 that will be the headquarters
of several public institutions, informed
official sources.
According to the Minister of Economy and
Finance (MEF) construction of this tower
could begin next year with an investment
estimated at about 250 million dollars.
The building will house institutions such as
the National Bank of Panama, managers of
Banks and Insurance, Maritime and Tourism
authorities as well as Public Services and
an Energy Secretary.
MEF head, Alberto Vallarino, indicated that
part of the capacities will be sold to the
