Víctor Vial
PanamapoliticianMale7.0Global Dominance: 0.00%Víctor Vial is the Vice President of Finance at the Panama Canal Authority, where he plays a crucial role in managing the financial aspects of one of the world's most significant maritime routes. Recently, he highlighted a more than 30% increase in vessel transit through the canal during the first half of the fiscal year 2025, following a recovery from previous drought conditions. Vial has been instrumental in proposing initiatives to attract more liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers back to the canal, as many are currently using alternative routes. He also discussed future investments totaling $8.5 billion for canal infrastructure and operations, including the introduction of sustainable tugboats and the development of a gas pipeline project to enhance Panama's energy corridor.
