Sumario:Paraguay remains one of the most dynamic economies in Latin America, with growth projected around 4 percent in 2014--15. Macroeconomic fundamentals are sound, and the government is pursuing an ambitious reform program to address infrastructure bottlenecks and other long-standing structural weaknesses. However, implementation capacity is limited, and the envisaged improvement in public services will need to be integrated into a prudent medium-term fiscal plan.
"This 2014 Article IV Consultation highlights that economic activity in Paraguay has slowed from record-high growth in 2013, but remains buoyant. Construction, manufacturing, and services led the expansion in 2014, whereas electricity production declined, and re-exports suffered from weak growth in Brazil. Full-year growth is estimated to have slightly exceeded 4 percent. Real GDP is projected to remain close to 4 percent in 2015. Weak trading partner growth and lower export prices cloud the outlook, and agricultural production is projected to rise only marginally above the high level of 2014"--
