- Summary:
- In 2025, BlackRock, the U.S.-based asset management giant, struck a deal to acquire two critical ports located at opposite ends of the Panama Canal from Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison Holdings. The control of these ports provides access to vital global trade infrastructure. This case discusses the reasons of the 1999 treaty between Panama and the United States which transferred control of the canal and its surrounding ports to Panama and evaluates the shifting geopolitical dynamics and growing concerns over foreign influence in key trade routes. Students will also discuss the U.S. reversing its decision and the steps it has taken to reassert its presence in this strategic region.
