The US dollar dropped below 5,800 guaranis in Paraguay.
Dollar drops against the guarani
The US dollar exchange rate recorded a new decline in the Paraguayan market, positioning itself below G. 5,800 for the ask rate and around G. 5,650 for the bid rate in the retail segment. The data was originally published by the newspaper ABC Color.
In the interbank or wholesale market, the North American currency closed operations quoted at G. 5,752. This movement consolidates a significant appreciation of the local currency, the guarani, over recent months.
Key points of the exchange rate scenario
- The accumulated appreciation of the guarani reflects economic dynamism and the inflow of foreign currency.
- The Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP) has maintained its stance of not intervening in the market, despite requests from sectors such as exporters and real estate.
- The BCP attributes this behavior to natural factors, such as economic growth and increased exports.
- Itaú projects the exchange rate at G. 6,100 per dollar by the end of 2026 and G. 6,150 for 2027.
