CAF and IDB representatives point out that Paraguay's investment grade allows financing infrastructure with long-term private resources.
Paraguay's achievement of investment grade creates new alternatives to finance infrastructure works through the mobilization of private savings and access to long-term resources in local currency. The information was released by representatives of multilateral organizations and the private sector during the announcement of the sixth edition of the Cavialpa Forum and Exhibition 2026, as originally published by ABC Color.
New financing tools for Paraguay
The presentation event took place at the Central Bank of Paraguay and featured debates on the country's economic challenges. According to Jorge Srur, South Regional Manager of the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF), the country now has the conditions to apply financial tools already used by neighboring nations that hold the same risk rating.
- Channeling private savings into public infrastructure helps resolve the scarcity of long-term financing in local currency.
- Alonso Chaverri-Suárez, representative of the Inter-American Development Bank (BID), highlighted that each project requires an appropriate model, whether public budget, international organizations, or Public-Private Partnerships (APP).
- The Cavialpa Forum 2026, scheduled for October 20, will feature former Uruguayan President Luis Lacalle Pou as an international guest to debate the topic.
The debate also addressed the need for continuous investments to mitigate deficits in the road network and boost strategic regional integration projects, such as the Bioceanic Corridor.
