BlackRock has quietly consolidated control over critical Panama Canal infrastructure through a $22.8 billion acquisition of major container terminals and logistics networks. The deal, finalized last month through its Global Infrastructure Partners division, positions the world’s largest asset manager at the helm of a vital global trade chokepoint.
The strategic MOVE grants BlackRock unprecedented influence over shipping routes responsible for 5% of global maritime trade. Market analysts note the acquisition coincides with growing institutional interest in physical infrastructure as a hedge against macroeconomic uncertainty.
