Panama's Universidad de Panamá (Unachi) has resumed administrative operations but continues to conduct classes virtually, indicating a cautious approach to returning to in-person learning. The decision reflects ongoing concerns about safety following recent seismic activity in the region, with classes set to remain online until October 18th. Additionally, the University of Panamá announced that it will resume in-person classes starting on October 19th, with specific faculties returning to campus. Meanwhile, the Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá (UTP) will not hold in-person classes at four of its campuses on October 12th, further emphasizing the university's commitment to virtual education during this period.

The shift towards virtual classes and the gradual return to in-person learning demonstrates the university's efforts to balance educational continuity with public safety. This move is likely to be closely monitored by investors and analysts, as it may impact perceptions of the country's stability and the overall business environment, which could in turn affect the sovereign bond market.
