Over the last few years, Paraguay has emerged as one of the most stable and predictable economies in South America. Its combination of moderate taxation, competitive operating costs, relative monetary stability and sustained growth has increasingly attracted the attention of international investors, companies and professionals.
Located in the heart of the continent and as a member of Mercosur, Paraguay provides strategic access to key regional markets while maintaining a generally more flexible business and regulatory environment than many other countries in the region.
Asunción, the country’s capital, concentrates a significant part of Paraguay’s economic and corporate activity and has undergone considerable transformation in recent years, particularly in the real estate, financial and business sectors.

At the same time, Paraguay continues to offer:

• competitive operating costs.
• moderate taxation,
• affordable energy and
• a reasonable quality of life for international and regional profiles.

However, as with any emerging market, understanding:
– the local environment,
– business culture,
– administrative procedures and
– regulatory differences compared to Europe or North America

remains essential.

PBH aims to facilitate a practical and internationally oriented first approach to Paraguay and its business environment.
