The Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) - Regional Programme Alliances for Democracy and Development with Latin America (ADELA) invites you to the digital conference ''The Economic Impacts of Covid-19 in Panama'' with the journalist Francia Herrera,  economists Danilo Rivera and Elpidio González.

Programme:

The economic crisis has increased in the Latin American region as a result of the Pandemic. Panama has not escaped this reality, and it is of the utmost importance to analyse the socio-economic impacts in order to confront it in the most responsible and austere way from the political sphere together with society.

We will talk with economists Danilo Rivera and Elpidio González, who will develop a brief analysis of the impacts on economic activity, the vulnerability of the population to this situation from the perspective of economic inequality and the labour market. A brief synopsis of food and agricultural issues at the current juncture, and the prospects for an economy that is facing challenges.

We will also talk with journalist and professor Francia Herrera, who will be explaining the situation of informal workers and how the different professions that affect this economy, such as the cultural or art industry, have been affected.

Date: Wednesday, July 1st
Time: 5 pm
