The Paraguay economy is set to rebound in 2021

Thanks to its sound and predictable macroeconomic bases; solid financial system; poverty reduction and other policies, Paraguay has seen an extraordinary growth in the past few years, paving the way to economic success with social inclusion (World Bank). According to the IMF, in the past two decades, Paraguay has seen strong growth and a sharp reduction in poverty. Strong GDP growth was the result of sound macro policies (with low inflation and low fiscal deficits and debt) and an agricultural commodity price boom which spilled over to the non-tradable sector. Crédit Agricole Group predicts that GDP growth will probably pick up to 4% in both 2021 and 2022, subject to the post-pandemic global economic recovery. Paraguay was ranking #125 in the World Bank’s 2019 Ease of Doing Business index (Sources: Focus Economics, World Bank, IMF, and Crédit Agricole Group).
