U.S.$300,000,000 3.160% Global Bonds due 2030
U.S.$1,000,000,000 4.30% Global Bonds due 2053

The Republic of Panama (the "Republic" or "Panama") will pay interest on the 3.160% Global Bonds due 2030 (the "2030 bonds") on January 23 and July 23 of each year, commencing on January 23, 2020 and on the 4.30% Global Bonds due
2053 (the "2053 bonds", and together with the 2030 bonds, the "global bonds") on April 29 and October 29 of each year, commencing on April 29, 2020. Panama will pay the principal of the 2053 bonds in three equal installments on April 29 of each
year commencing on April 29, 2051. The 2030 bonds will mature on January 23, 2030 and the 2053 bonds will mature on April 29, 2053. The 2030 bonds will be unsubordinated, unsecured (subject to the provisions in the 2030 bonds providing for
securing such obligations in the event certain other obligations of Panama are secured), direct, unconditional and general obligations of Panama. The 2030 bonds will be designated Equal Ranking Securities and, as such, the 2030 bonds will rank
without any preference among themselves and equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated public indebtedness of Panama. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require Panama to make payments under the 2030
bonds ratably with payments being made under any other public indebtedness. Panama has pledged its full faith and credit for the due and punctual payment of principal and interest on the 2030 bonds and all obligations of Panama in respect of the
2030 bonds. The 2053 bonds will not be designated Equal Ranking Securities and, as such, the 2053 bonds will constitute direct, unsecured (subject to the provisions in the 2053 bonds providing for securing such obligations in the event certain
other obligations of Panama are secured), unconditional and general obligations of Panama and will rank equally in right of payment with all other indebtedness issued in accordance with the fiscal agency agreement and with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of Panama. The full faith and credit of the Republic of Panama is pledged for the due and punctual payment of all of the 2053 bonds and for the due and timely payment of all obligations of Panama in respect of the
2053 bonds. See "Debt Securities--Status of the Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.
The 2030 bonds will be a further issuance of, and will be consolidated to form a single series with, the outstanding U.S.$1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Panama's 3.160% Global Bonds due 2030 that were previously issued on
July 23, 2019, and will be fully fungible with the outstanding 2030 bonds. The total aggregate principal amount of the previously issued 2030 bonds and the 2030 bonds now being issued will be U.S.$1,550,000,000.
The 2053 bonds will be a further issuance of, and will be consolidated to form a single series with, the outstanding U.S.$750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Panama's 4.30% Global Bonds due 2053 that were previously issued on
April 29, 2013, and will be fully fungible with the outstanding 2053 bonds. The total aggregate principal amount of the previously issued 2053 bonds and the 2053 bonds now being issued will be U.S.$1,750,000,000.
Panama may, at its option, redeem the global bonds, in whole or in part, before maturity, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice on the terms described under "Description of the 2030 Bonds--Optional Redemption" and
"Description of the 2053 Bonds--Optional Redemption" in this prospectus supplement. The holders of the global bonds will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
The 2030 bonds will be designated Aggregated Collective Action Securities and, as such, will contain provisions regarding future modifications to the terms of the global bonds that differ from those applicable to Panama's outstanding public
external indebtedness issued prior to March 16, 2015, which includes the 2053 bonds. Under these provisions, which are described under "Description of the 2030 Bonds--Meetings, Amendments and Waivers" in this prospectus supplement and
"Aggregated Collective Action Securities" in the accompanying prospectus, Panama may amend the payment provisions of any series of debt securities (including the 2030 bonds) and other reserve matters listed in the fiscal agency agreement with
the consent of the holders of: (1) with respect to a single series of debt securities, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series; (2) with respect to two or more series of debt securities, if certain
"uniformly applicable" requirements are met, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate; or (3) with respect to two or more series of
debt securities, whether or not certain "uniformly applicable" requirements are met, more than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate, and
more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the proposed modification, taken individually.
The 2053 bonds will be designated Collective Action Securities and, as such, will contain provisions regarding acceleration and future modifications to their terms that differ from those applicable to a significant proportion of the Republic's
outstanding public external indebtedness. Under these provisions, which are described in the sections entitled "Description of the 2053 Bonds--Default; Acceleration of Maturity" and "--Amendments and Waivers" in this prospectus supplement and
"Collective Action Securities" in the accompanying prospectus, the Republic may amend the payment provisions of the 2053 bonds and certain other terms with the consent of the holders of 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
2053 bonds.
Application will be made to list the global bonds on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to have such global bonds admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market.

The Issuer
Overview
Panama is a republic located on the narrowest point of the Central American isthmus, which connects the continents of North America and
South America. It has a coastline of approximately 1,868 miles on the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, and is bordered on the east by Colombia and
on the west by Costa Rica. Panama has a national territory of approximately 29,157 square miles situated within its coastline and 345 miles of land
borders, and includes numerous coastal islands. The Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, bisects the country running
northwest to southeast.
As of July 1, 2018, Panama had an estimated population of 4.2 million and a population density of 56.1 people per square kilometer. The
Panama Province, the Republic's largest province, is estimated to have comprised 52.6% of Panama's total population, and the Colón Province,
located at the northern terminus of the Panama Canal, is estimated to have comprised 7.0% of the total population, at that date.
During the period from 2014 to 2018, the population grew by an average of 1.5% per annum. Approximately 69.0% of Panama's population
lives in cities and towns with more than 1,500 inhabitants, and 6.5% of the population is indigenous, some of whom are seeking greater autonomy
from the Government. Of the Panamanian population, 26.4% is under 15 years of age, 65.4% is between the ages of 15 and 64, and 8.2% is over the
age of 65. Average life expectancy in Panama is 78.5 years. The infant mortality rate for 2017 was estimated at 14.0 per 1,000 births. Panama's
official language is Spanish.
Panama's preliminary per capita GDP for 2018, expressed in chained volume measure, was approximately U.S.$10,025.4. According to the
2010 census, education indicators show that Panama's literacy rate for people over the age of ten years is approximately 94.5%.
Government
Panama is a republic with a representative form of government. In 1972, the original version of the current Constitution was adopted (the fourth
in Panama's history), setting forth the structure of the Government, individual and collective rights and duties, and the division of powers among the
executive, legislative and judicial branches.
Executive power is vested in the President and the presidentially appointed Ministers, who constitute the Cabinet. The President and the Vice
President are each elected by direct, universal suffrage for a term of five years. The President and the Vice President may not be reelected to the same
office within ten years after the expiration of their term. In the event the President is unable to finish a term, the Vice President would succeed to the
presidency.
National legislative power is vested in the National Assembly (the "Assembly"), Panama's unicameral legislative body. The number of electoral
circuits, each comprising an average of approximately 57,000 persons, determines the number of legislators; the Assembly currently has 71 seats. The
full Assembly is elected by universal suffrage every five years. Members of the Assembly are not subject to limits on the number of terms in office to
which they may be elected. The Assembly has, among other powers, the authority to enact legislation, ratify treaties, approve the budget and ratify the
appointment of the Comptroller General, the Attorney General and justices of the Supreme Court of Justice, referred to as the Supreme Court.

Final Prospectus Supplement
Table of Contents
Judicial power is vested in the Supreme Court and various lower tribunals. The President appoints the nine justices of the Supreme Court for
staggered ten-year terms, subject to ratification by the Assembly. Lower court judges are appointed by the Supreme Court. The judicial branch
prepares its own budget and sends it to the executive branch for inclusion in the general budget presented to the Assembly for approval. The Supreme
Court is the final court of appeal and has the power to declare null and void laws, regulations or other acts of the executive or legislative branches that
conflict with the Constitution.
Panama is administratively divided into ten provinces and three territories. In each province, executive power is exercised by a governor who is
appointed by the President. There are no provincial legislative or judicial bodies. Provincial governments do not have their own independent budgets.
Within each province are municipalities that are, in turn, divided into precincts. Each municipality has a municipal council and a mayor who exercises
executive power. Mayors and members of municipal councils are elected by direct, universal suffrage for five-year terms. Municipalities levy and
collect municipal taxes and adopt their own budgets for financing local projects.
On May 5, 2019, general elections were held in Panama. In the presidential elections, Laurentino Cortizo Cohen of the Partido Revolucionario
Democratico ("PRD") party was elected president of the Republic with approximately 33.35% of the votes. In the National Assembly elections, the
PRD won 35 seats, Cambio Democratico won 18 seats, Partido Panameñista won eight seats, Movimiento Liberal Republicano Nacionalista
("MOLIRENA") won five seats and five independent candidates won seats. The government took office on July 1, 2019, for a five year term.
