Macroeconomic Stability

Solid, Broad-Based Growth

Paraguay is one of the most stable economies in South America. GDP per capita of roughly USD 7,137, est. growth of approximately 4.5% in 2026, and inflation estimated at only around 3.3% point to a solid macroeconomic base.

This is supported by favorable population demographics with steady population growth, a politically stable landscape across election cycles, and a growing tourism sector. Asset prices — real estate in particular — have so far only partially reflected these improving fundamentals.

  • Steady population growth and favorable demographics
  • Growing GDP alongside low, stable inflation
  • Politically stable environment across multiple legislative periods
  • Increasing tourism and growing international visibility
Tax Regime

Predictable Transaction Costs

Clearly defined notary, transfer tax and registry fees create cost certainty when purchasing real estate.
