Panama Continues Housing Reconstruction for Earthquake-Affected Families

The government continued its housing recovery programme following the October earthquake, with construction activity underway for affected families. Earlier reporting on the first 300 homes in Herrera placed preliminary individual construction costs at approximately US$15,000–18,000; this is an indicative earlier estimate, not a newly announced contract price for this week. The reconstruction creates opportunities for construction suppliers, housing developers and building-material distributors.
