巴拿马：运河扩建竣工 丑闻让政府形象受损

Abstract:The political situation in Panama in 2016 encountered setbacks. Adverse events occurred one after another，such as “Panama Papers” leaking and the “Waked Family” suffering sanctions，which badly eroded the President’s approval rating. The macro economy maintained a stable growth rate of more than 5%. The completion of the Panama Canal expansion project is expected to facilitate long-term economic growth. In social aspect，the “Barro Blanco” dam constructed in indigenous Ngäbe Buglé failed to reach a settlement agreement yet. The public held lukewarm reaction to Government’s efforts to maintain public security. The diplomatic situation was strained in 2016，the Government was kept busy quelling the impact of the “Panama Papers” incident，and the trade war with Colombia had not been fully settled.
