    Panama Banking System Shows New Strength

    Deposits in Panama top 50 billion dollars for the first time ever.

    We welcome two new banks with a general banking license to Panama:

    Banco Bolivariano (Panamá), S.A.
    Banco G&T Continental, S.A. (BMF)

    They have achieved 31 million and 2 million dollars in deposits respectively in their short period of operation.

    Banesco Banco Universal, C.A. (under voluntary liquidation) has now transferred all but 0.31 million in deposits.
    Recently BNP Paribas, the third largest bank in Panama as measured by deposits, announced that they would close operations.
    BBVA also announced that they would only accept "local" deposits in the future.

    Best wishes, Ed

    While we're on the subject, which is the largest bank (given the same criterion)?
