provisions in the global bonds providing for securing such obligations in the event certain other obligations of Panama are secured), direct,
unconditional and general obligations of Panama. The global bonds will be designated Equal Ranking Securities and, as such, the global 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 global bonds ratably with payments being
made under any other public indebtedness. See "Debt Securities--Status of the Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus. Panama has
pledged its full faith and credit for the due and punctual payment of principal and interest on the global bonds and all obligations of Panama in
respect of the global bonds.
The 2028 bonds will be a further issuance of, and will be consolidated to form a single series with, the outstanding $1,000,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Panama's 3.875% Global Bonds due 2028 that were previously issued on March 17, 2016 and will be fully
fungible with the outstanding 2028 bonds. The total aggregate principal amount of the previously issued 2028 bonds and the 2028 bonds now

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 Global 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 global 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. Under these provisions, which are described under "Description of the Global 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 global 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.

bonds admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market.

SUMMARY
This summary should be read as an introduction to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus. Any decision to invest in the global bonds by an investor should be based on consideration of this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus as a whole.
The Issuer
Overview
Panama is 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 December 31, 2016, Panama had an estimated population of 4.0 million and a population density of
54.4 people per square kilometer. The Panama Province, the Republic's largest province, is estimated to have
comprised 52.2% 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.
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.
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.
S-1

Panama is administratively divided into 10 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 4, 2014, Panama held general elections for the posts of President, members of the Assembly and
other regional posts. In several individual decisions, the Electoral Tribunal annulled the election results for
eleven Assembly seats. These seats were contested again in several rounds of special elections starting on
November 16, 2014 and ending on December 21, 2014. The Assembly began its session on January 2, 2015 with
68 of 71 members seated because the results of three of the special elections were being contested before the
Electoral Tribunal. The Electoral Tribunal subsequently dismissed these challenges and issued Decree 1 of
January 30, 2015, declaring all cases concerning the 2014 elections formally closed. Currently, in the Assembly,
26 seats belong to the Partido Revolucionario Democrático ("PRD"), 24 seats belong to Cambio Democrático,
16 seats belong to the governing party, the Partido Panemeñista, three seats belong to the Partido Molirena, one
seat belongs to the Partido Popular and one seat belongs to an independent. The majority coalition is comprised
of the PRD, the Partido Panemeñista and the Partido Popular.
On May 4, 2014, Juan Carlos Varela was elected President of the Republic of Panama for a five-year term
and took office on July 1, 2014. Dulcidio de la Guardia serves as Panama's Minister of Economy and Finance.

will be designated equal ranking securities and, as such, the global

be construed so as to require Panama to make payments under the
