Summary

Paraguay's economy is set to grow at around 4.5 percent in 2023, led by robust agricultural production and exports combined with high electricity generation. Inflation has receded rapidly allowing for a reduction of the monetary policy rate to the current 7.25 percent. The fiscal position of the central government is weaker than projected during the 1st PCI review, with a deficit of 4.1 percent of GDP in 2023, not least due to settlement of outstanding claims. The external current account reversed into a surplus. President Santiago Peña took office in August.
