The Board of Directors of the Securities Market Superintendence of Panama issued Agreement No. 7-2023 to update and clarify the administrative sanctioning procedures for late financial reporting. The agreement modifies Article 1 to establish cumulative daily fines for registered issuers and mandates the suspension of public offering authorization after 60 days of non-compliance. It also revises Article 2 to set specific penalties for regulated entities like securities houses and investment advisors, while repealing Article 6 of the original 2005 agreement to eliminate legal inconsistencies.
