Paraguay has established itself as an exporter of high-quality ovine genetics following a qualitative leap over the past 15 years, driven by private investment and formalization through trade fairs and exhibitions. The country has recently opened four new international markets and shipped lamb meat to the United Arab Emirates.

The Executive Branch enacted Law 7665 to implement the commuter rail system in Asunción, with an investment of US$480 million and construction scheduled to begin in April 2027 in partnership with the United Arab Emirates.
The Budget Committee of the Chamber of Deputies unanimously approved the legal changes proposed by the Executive to speed up the Commuter Train, which will link Asunción to Luque. Public Works Minister Claudia Centurión stated that construction will begin in the first half of 2027, with engineering and supervision already contracted and a team from the United Arab Emirates working in the country.
Paraguay's Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock received a World Bank delegation to discuss progress on the Agricultural Market Integration Project (PIMA), which has already delivered tractors, storage centers, and irrigation systems in San Pedro and other regions.
The Paraguayan Senate approved a bill modifying the commuter train law, allowing execution via a direct agreement with the United Arab Emirates and excluding the application of concession, PPP, and public procurement laws. The text now goes to the Chamber of Deputies amid opposition criticism over transparency and costs.
