The Paraguayan government's debt to construction companies remains at US$300 million despite payments made in April and May, according to Capaco, which rejected the factoring system proposed by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), considering it unfeasible due to the high interest rates charged by financial institutions.
The construction sector in Paraguay presents a contradictory scenario in 2026, with growth in the volume of projects driven by investments from the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) and the expansion of Route PY01, but it faces persistent financial difficulties, especially among public works companies, according to Gustavo Masi, director of the Paraguayan Road Chamber (CAVIALPA).
