The Superintendency of Banks of Panama published an update on the first ordinary 2026 meeting of the Commission of the Special Interest Compensation Fund, or FECI, which it chairs alongside the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Ministry of Agricultural Development. The main outcome was the approval of a specific interpretive criterion for agroindustrial activity concerning the concept of agricultural raw material, aimed at providing greater certainty in how the FECI regime is applied. At the April 22 session, the commission also reviewed interpretive criteria for the FECI regime as part of a broader effort to consolidate clear and uniform guidance aligned with current sector challenges. Separately, in its role as FECI administrator, the Superintendency of Banks of Panama presented the fund's financial results as of March 31, 2026, and noted that FECI's audited financial statements as of Dec. 31, 2025 are available on its website.
