Panamá bajo presión: Factura de combustible escala por tensiones globales y postergación de la transición energética
Panamá atraviesa un escenario crítico en su matriz energética. La combinación de la escalada de tensiones en Medio Oriente y desafíos logísticos internos ha disparado el costo de la importación de derivados del petróleo en el primer tramo de 2026.
Ante este panorama, con precios que rozan niveles históricos, el Gobierno Nacional ha anunciado medidas de contingencia, incluyendo la reactivación del subsidio al combustible para el sector transporte y la postergación de la mezcla obligatoria con bioetanol.

El impacto de la crisis internacional y la expectativa de precios
El mercado local, que depende en un 100% de los productos refinados provenientes de la costa del Golfo de los Estados Unidos, se mantiene en alerta ante la volatilidad del West Texas Intermediate (WTI). El conflicto geopolítico entre Irán, Israel y Estados Unidos ha generado una presión alcista que ya se refleja en las estaciones de servicio.
Tras los recientes incrementos registrados a inicios de abril, el mercado se encuentra actualmente a la expectativa de un nuevo anuncio por parte de la Secretaría Nacional de Energía (SNE).
Según estimaciones técnicas, se prevé que la tendencia al alza se mantenga en el próximo ciclo de ajuste, lo que colocaría el galón de gasolina de 95 octanos por encima de la barrera de los $5.00 en diversas regiones del país.
