Paraguay this week: contained inflation, expanding activity and market signals

September inflation was 0.1% month on month, 1.7% year on year and 1.9% year to date. The BCP keeps the policy rate at 5.50%, while the latest available indicators still point to expanding activity.

UPDATED: OCTOBER 5, 2026

Paraguay's local picture combines moderate inflation, a 5.50% policy rate and IMAEP growth of 5.5% year on year in July. The trade surplus accumulated through August reached USD 716.9 million.

Signals the market is watching

For businesses and investors, the combination matters: inflation remains contained while activity retains momentum. At the same time, the external backdrop continues to be shaped by energy, exchange rates, trade and international markets.

Radar perspective

The key signal this week is not a single number, but the coexistence of price stability with signs of expansion. That supports planning, but it does not remove risks from logistics costs, fuel, financing and external demand.

Radar Investment will keep this reading updated as the BCP, MEF and the Asunción Stock Exchange publish new information. The relevant reference is always the latest official figure available for each indicator.
