In brief: Panamanian gov’t meets with companies on border control centre
* Tayra Barsallo, director general of Panama’s national customs authority (Ana), has met with companies interested in constructing installations for a new border control centre between Panama and Costa Rica. The meeting came days after Panama’s President Laurentino Cortizo sanctioned the framework for the binational control system on 31 August, in the presence of his Costa Rican counterpart Carlos Alvarado. Financed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) at a cost of US$75m, the project will be constructed in three border areas: Paso Canoas, Guabito, and Río Sereno. Panama’s national customs authority claims the project will modernise Panama’s logistics sector and will assure greater “traceability of tax routes”.
