I have been watching the exchange rate, but context is important.

I can see why you said that, but in truth the canal wasn’t given back until the year 2000.
Noriega was removed from office in 1989. As soon as he was gone, the nation seemed to return to normalcy.
The canal may have been a shot in the arm in time.
