Paraguay relies on private partnerships for works

Paraguay continues to advance in its infrastructure with a strong push towards attracting private investments and new financing strategies. IDB Group experts and private sector representatives recently met at the Foro Cavialpa 2026 to discuss efficient ways to mobilize resources for strategic works without affecting the country's fiscal stability.

Opportunities and investments in infrastructure

During the event, experts pointed out that Paraguay's current investment grade places the country in a very favorable position to attract international capital. To achieve this, the focus is on strengthening the technical preparation of projects and asset management. Presented data show that, between 2020 and 2023, the country allocated about 2.4% of its GDP to infrastructure, exceeding the regional average, and paved approximately 3,000 kilometers of roads.

• Paraguay invested 2.4% of GDP in infrastructure between 2020 and 2023, above the Latin American average.
• About 3,000 kilometers of roads were paved in the country between 2018 and 2023.
• The model of partnerships and successful financial instruments helped reduce long-term fundraising costs.

These initiatives show economic dynamism and the ongoing commitment to Paraguay's development and logistical modernization, generating new opportunities for the labor market and the construction sector. This information was originally published by ABC Color.
