Paraguay

12 plates of official data, 2006-2026

Every figure on this page comes from a publisher that names its definition — the INE for population, poverty and employment, the Ministry of Economy and Finance for the fiscal accounts, UNDP for human development — and from the World Bank and IMF for the harmonised layer. The central bank, which publishes GDP, the CPI, the policy rate and the guaraní's reference rate, answers a Cloudflare challenge to this network: those series are drawn as the Fund and the World Bank record them, and labelled that way. The plates regenerate from committed CSVs, so the charts and the numbers here cannot drift apart.

Where things stand

The plates

  1. Four panels on Paraguay's economy: real growth with the 2009, 2012 and 2019-20 downturns banded; GDP per person in current dollars; consumer price inflation; and unemployment, the ILO model beside INE's survey from 2017. Plate 01

    The Economy

    Growth, income, prices and jobs in comparable World Bank and IMF series, with the BCP's CPI as the Fund records it.
