ECONOMY

Paraguay is a country of vast natural resources. Clean energy production is a key activity in the country, as is highly automated agriculture and livestock production. 100% of Paraguay's electricity is produced using hydroelectricity, making it one of the cleanest in the world.
The Paraguayan economy is small and open, as well as heavily dependent on agricultural production and foreign trade, particularly soybean and beef, which comprise nearly 40% of all exports.
Between 1970 and 2013, the country had the highest economic growth of South America, with an average rate of 7,2% per year. In 2010 and 2013, Paraguay experienced the greatest economic expansion of South America, with a GDP growth rate of 13,1% and 13,6%, respectively. In 2020, economic growth is expected to reach 6,3%.

This constant increase is attributable to a debt/GDP ratio equal to 20,0%, one of the lowest in the world. Furthermore, in 2017 inflation in Paraguay was only 3,6%, one of the lowest in the area.
Paraguay offers interesting investment opportunities in every sector, particularly in agriculture, trade, and industry, companies are very dynamic and resourceful, and its population is very young: 70% are under 35 years old and 2017 unemployment rate is only 4,61%.
International reserves continue at historically high levels, totaling more than US $6,6 billion. The exchange rate of the national currency, the Guarani, has remained stable in recent years.
Paraguay is the fourth-largest soybean producer in the world, second-largest producer of stevia, sixth-largest exporter of corn, tenth-largest exporter of wheat, and sixth-largest exporter of beef.

The mineral industry of Paraguay produces about 25% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and employs about 31% of the labor force. Production of cement, iron ore, and steel occurs commonly throughout Paraguay's industrial sector.
In the pharmaceutical industry, Paraguayan companies now meet 70% of domestic consumption and have begun to export drugs. Strong growth is also evident in the production of edible oils, garments, organic sugar, meat processing, and steel.
The country also boasts the third most important free commercial zone in the world: Ciudad del Este, only trailing behind Miami and Hong Kong.
The economy has grown rapidly as world demand for commodities combined with high prices and favorable weather continue to support Paraguay's commodity-based export expansion.

PARAGUAY RESIDENCY PERMIT

Paraguay’s immigration policy is considered liberal. A permanent residence permit can be obtained immediately. It is one of the only countries where you can receive permanent residency very easily without being required to move there or reside there or visit the country previously. And after three years, you will be eligible to apply for Paraguayan citizenship.
Paraguay has always had low or no taxes and is on par with tax haven countries like Dubai, Panama, and Monaco. Paraguay offers exceptional tax benefits: you don’t pay tax if your business is abroad as offshore revenues and dividends are not taxable. The corporation tax is 10% and also the VAT for the majority of goods and services is 10% or less.

Paraguay is one of the founding states of Mercosur (Southern Common Market) and having obtained Paraguayan permanent residency and an identity card, it is easier to travel and access the market and investment opportunities of the other Member States of Mercosur (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Venezuela, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru).

Foreign permanent residents of Paraguay can acquire various types of licenses and authorizations for various activities and also residence permits in the neighboring Mercosur countries with much simpler procedures. Moreover, in Mercosur there are very interesting tax breaks for permanent residents in member states.

For most of its history, Paraguay has been a recipient of immigrants, owing to its low population density, especially after the demographic collapse that resulted from the Paraguayan War. Around 40% of the total Paraguayan population has some Italian ancestry. Also, Paraguay has the most prominent German community in South America, with 7% of the population claiming German ancestry. It’s no secret that personal and economic freedoms are disappearing in many countries. But this is different in Paraguay, it’s the land of freedom and opportunity!
