13 November 2026 | Review of previously enacted law. Law 7718/2026 approves a USD 1 million preparation grant agreement with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development for the Itapúa Logistics and Transport Infrastructure Project, administered by Paraguay's Ministry of Public Works. The legislative archive published the text on 12 November, but lawmakers passed the bill in July and August 2026. This is not a newly enacted measure.
What the funding covers
The law increases the Ministry's 2026 budget by G. 7.8 billion. This finances project preparation, not completed construction, a signed works contract or extra logistics capacity already delivered. Claims about new jobs or route capacity would require separate evidence.
Radar Analysis
Preparation grants can improve the studies and decisions needed before capital-intensive investment. Businesses should monitor completion of technical studies, financing arrangements, tendering and eventual contracts. The grant alone does not guarantee that the physical project will proceed.
