Home Country Analysis Briefs Paraguay Country Analysis Brief PDF version PDB version January 2004 Background Oil Natural Gas Electricity ... Links Paraguay Paraguay has no known oil or natural gas reserves but is a major producer and exporter of hydroelectric power. Paraguay is a member of MERCOSUR, the Southern Cone Common Market. Note: Information contained in this report is the best available as of January 2004 and can change. BACKGROUND The Republic of Paraguay is heavily integrated with the economies of its neighboring MERCOSUR members Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. Paraguay has vast hydropower potential, with two large hydroelectric plants Itaipu, the largest in the world, and Yacyreta. Paraguay’s economy depends heavily on agriculture, hydroelectricity generation, and trade with its neighboring countries. Accordingly, Paraguay's economy is highly sensitive to regional trends. For instance, the financial crises that took place in Argentina and Brazil in 2001 adversely affected Paraguayan economic growth. In 2001, Paraguay's real gross domestic product (GDP) grew by only 1.0%, followed by a 3.9% contraction in 2002. Paraguay's economy contracted 2% in 2003. On August 15, 2003, Nicanor Duarte Frutos was inaugurated as Paraguay's new president. On entering office, Duarte Frutos pledged to crack down on corruption and to stimulate the sluggish economy. Resumption of economic growth will likely depend on whether the economic recoveries in Argentina and Brazil are sustained.

Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, Concluding Observations: Paraguay, U.N. Doc. A/51/38, paras. 105-133 (1996). Paraguay 105. The Committee considered the initial and second periodic reports of Paraguay (CEDAW/C/PAR/1-2 and Add.1 and 2) at its 289th and 297th meetings, on 17 and 23 January 1996 (see CEDAW/C/SR.289 and 297). The Committee took note of the answers given orally to the wide range of questions and concerns raised during consideration of the report. 106. In introducing the combined report, the representative of Paraguay noted that since 1992 a number of important political changes had taken place in the country. She emphasized the adoption of a new Constitution and the election of a civilian Government. In 1992, the position of Secretary of State for Women was established. 107. The representative indicated that in the new Constitution the principle of equality had been adopted and the relevant international instruments had been ratified. This allowed the creation of a body of law on equality between women and men. However, disparities in equality in legislation still existed. 108. The representative gave details of several programmes that the Government, non-governmental organizations and women's organizations had been implementing. Despite gains made in women's education, 6 out of 10 illiterate persons in the country were women, mainly from rural areas, and the levels of school retention were very low, especially for girls. The country had one of the highest rates of maternal death in the Latin American region, with abortion being the second most common cause of maternal death.

International Adoptions PARAGUAY Prospective adoptive parents are advised to fully research any adoption agency or facilitator they plan to use for adoption services. For U.S. based agencies, it is suggested that prospective adoptive parents contact the Better Business Bureau and licensing office of the Department of Health and Family Services in the state where the agency is located. PLEASE NOTE: The Government of Paraguay has informed the American Embassy in Asuncion, Paraguay, that no new cases of international adoptions of Paraguayan orphans will occur until the Paraguayan Government opens its Center for Adoptions. In addition, the Government of Paraguay has indicated that even after the Center for Adoptions is opened, Paraguay will only deal with prospective adoptive parents who are citizens of countries which have ratified the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption. The State Department's Office of Children's Issues recommends that Americans not attempt to initiate adoptions of Paraguayan orphans at this time. GENERAL: The following is a guide for U.S. citizens who are interested in adopting a child in Paraguay and applying for an immigrant visa for the child to come to the United States. This process involves complex Paraguayan and U.S. legal requirements. U.S. consular officers give each petition careful consideration on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the legal requirements of both countries have been met, for the protection of the prospective adoptive parent(s), the biological parents(s) and the child. Interested U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to contact U.S. consular officials in Paraguay before formalizing an adoption agreement to ensure that appropriate procedures have been followed which will make it possible for the Embassy to issue a U.S. immigrant visa for the child.

Under the agreement, bond maturities that had been due through 2005 will be extended as far as 2008. New debt payments start from Sept. 2004, with interest rates of between 7.0 percent and 9.5 percent. "It was not possible to meet the debt principal owed for 2003, 2004 and 2005," said Finance Minister Dionisio Borda. "This is an important step ... to avoid default." The government hopes the payments delay will give Paraguay breathing space to invest in an economy that has shrunk in four of the last five years. The economy has mostly been stagnant in the last two decades and smuggling is estimated to dwarf the formal business sector.
