Empresa estadounidense BlackRock acuerda comprar puertos del canal de Panamá en medio del frenesí de los blancos

El gigante estadounidense de gestión de activos BlackRock acordó comprar dos puertos en ambos extremos del canal de Panamá a una empresa con sede en Hong Kong cuya propiedad había enfurecido al presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump.

Trump dijo en varias ocasiones durante el periodo previo a su toma de posesión y desde que asumió el cargo que tiene la intención de “recuperar” el canal de Panamá de manos de este país, que asumió el control de la crucial vía navegable internacional en 1999 en virtud de un tratado negociado con Estados Unidos 20 años antes. Y citó la propiedad china de algunas de las operaciones portuarias como señal de que China dirige ahora el canal.

“China está gestionando el canal de Panamá. Y nosotros no se lo dimos a China. Se lo dimos a Panamá y vamos a recuperarlo”, dijo Trump durante su discurso de investidura. En una rueda de prensa previa a su toma de posesión en enero, Trump no descartó utilizar la fuerza militar o la coerción económica para hacerse de nuevo con el control del canal.

El acuerdo anunciado este martes prevé que BlackRock y un consorcio de inversores desembolsen US$ 22.800 millones para comprar los puertos de Balboa y Cristóbal, en ambos extremos del canal, a CK Hutchison, una empresa de Hong Kong. Dijo que el trato es un “acuerdo en principio”. El consorcio de BlackRock también comprará la participación mayoritaria de CK Hutchison en otros 43 puertos que comprenden 199 atracaderos en 23 países, pero ninguno de los puertos que opera en China o Hong Kong.

“Estos puertos de categoría internacional facilitan el crecimiento global”, afirmó en un comunicado el CEO de BlackRock, Larry Fink. “A través de nuestra profunda conectividad con organizaciones como Hutchison … y gobiernos de todo el mundo, somos cada vez más la primera llamada para los socios que buscan capital paciente y a largo plazo. Estamos encantados de que nuestros clientes puedan participar en esta inversión”.

BlackRock es uno de los mayores gestores de activos del mundo, con un enorme fondo de US$ 11,6 billones en activos. Para contextualizar, esa suma equivale aproximadamente al 40% del producto interno bruto (PIB) de Estados Unidos, la medida más amplia de la actividad económica de una nación. A diferencia de algunos conglomerados, no controla completamente un gran número de empresas de alto perfil. Pero entre sus participaciones, posee la segunda mayor participación en algunas de las empresas más grandes y exitosas de la nación, como Walmart, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft y Alphabet, propietaria de Google.

El canal de Panamá fue construido por Estados Unidos en los primeros años del siglo XX y se completó en 1914. Durante la mayor parte de ese siglo fue operado por Estados Unidos, antes de que el gobierno de Carter negociara su traspaso a Panamá en un controvertido tratado al que se opusieron muchos republicanos de la época.

Desde su entrega en 1999, el canal ha sido operado por Panamá, no por China, a pesar de las preocupaciones expresadas por Trump.

La Casa Blanca no hizo ningún comentario inmediato sobre la compra, aunque parece probable que pueda calmar las preocupaciones de Trump sobre la influencia china en la vía navegable. Mike Waltz, asesor de Seguridad Nacional del gobierno, dijo a periodistas a finales del mes pasado que el liderazgo de Panamá había entrado en “negociaciones sobre el tratamiento de los puertos a ambos lados del canal”.
Panamá explica que venta de puertos es asunto entre compañías privadas

Como una “transacción global, entre compañías privadas, motivada por intereses propios” calificó el gobierno de Panamá la compra que llevó a cabo BlackRock de dos puertos a la compañía CK Hutchinson Holdings.

“En el caso de la República de Panamá, el Gobierno Nacional velará a través de la Autoridad Marítima de Panamá (AMP) el Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas (MEF) que se cumplan todas las regulaciones y leyes locales previo a cualquier decisión por parte de AMP en representación del gobierno nacional de Panamá” destacó un comunicado del Gobierno
