Exports under Paraguay's maquila regime reached USD 1.1493 billion in January–September 2026, up 29% year on year, according to the Central Bank of Paraguay. This is an export measure, not a measure of total domestic industrial output.
What the increase means
The rise highlights the regime's contribution to foreign trade. It may increase demand for manufacturing capacity, logistics, warehousing and specialized suppliers, although the aggregate total does not establish that particular investments have been committed.
Investment considerations
Investors should assess destination markets, applicable rules, input costs, workforce availability and integration with regional supply chains. Sector-level figures and company disclosures are essential to evaluate specific projects.
Radar Inversión will track individual sectors and projects while distinguishing completed exports from planned investments.
