Summary:Context: Paraguay has solid macroeconomic fundamentals, with low inflation, sustained growth and sound public finances. Over the course of last year, however, the economy experienced a loss of momentum-largely linked to weak commodity prices and adverse regional spillovers. Downside risks to growth, mainly external, have risen. Over the medium term, authorities face challenges, including limited implementation capacity and political economy constraints, in the pursuit of their reform agenda to address structural weaknesses, reduce poverty, strengthen policy frameworks, increase productivity and promote inclusive growth. Focus: The consultation focused on policies to support macroeconomic resilience, contain financial sector vulnerabilities, and advance economic development.
