An extraordinary income of approximately $ 105 million could be received by the Panamanian government from the sale of shares of the two large firms. These funds would pay the initial installment of the Metro line.

The sum is equivalent to five percent (5%) of the total value of the sale retained by the buyer, which may be considered the final payable tax.

In the case of the BAC group, the Superintendence of Banks of Panama has not objected to the sale of a banking company in Panama.
