\"\"PANAMA CITY, Panama, December 11, 2008<\/strong>\u00a0– On December 9, Panamanian President Mart\u00edn Torrijos and Panama Canal Authority (ACP) Administrator\/CEO Alberto Alem\u00e1n Zubieta signed a $2.3 billion agreement with leaders from five multilateral and development agencies to finance the waterway’s most historic project to date: expansion.<\/p>\n

In an official ceremony held at Panama’s Ascanio Arosemena\u00a0Auditorium, Mr.\u00a0Alem\u00e1n\u00a0Zubieta and top executives from the five agencies signed the agreement to officiate the financing package, which will cover a portion of the $5.25 billion Canal Expansion Program.\u00a0President Torrijos also signed the agreement as an honorary witness.<\/p>\n

Those in attendance and pictured left to right include:\u00a0Francisco de Paula Coelho, Latin America and Asia director, European Investment Bank (EIB); Enrique Garcia Rodr\u00edguez, executive president, Corporaci\u00f3n Andina de Fomento (CAF); Luis Alberto Moreno, president, Inter-American Development Bank (IDB); Mart\u00edn Torrijos, Panamanian president; Alberto Alem\u00e1n Zubieta, administrator and chief executive officer, Panama Canal Authority; Juan Jose Daboub, World Bank Group managing director, International Finance Corporation (IFC); and Yoshihiko Morita, vice president, Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC).<\/p>\n

Representing Asia, Latin America, Europe and the United States, the agencies’ confidence in the expansion project demonstrates the Canal’s importance to Panama’s economic growth and world trade.<\/p>\n

Expansion will build a new lane of traffic along the Panama Canal through the construction of a new set of locks, which will double capacity and allow more traffic and longer, wider ships.<\/p>\n
