Summary

Key institutional pillars of a financial safety net have not been established in Panama. While state-owned banks benefit from an explicit government guarantee, Panama does not possess a deposit insurance framework, lender-of-last resort (LOLR) or emergency liquidity assistance (ELA)mechanism to preserve financial stability. Panama, as a fully dollarized economy with no central bank, faces constraints on its development of key components of the financial safety net which will need to be overcome.
