Paraguay’s Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) plans to carry out the year’s fourth local placement of Public Treasury Bonds on September 23, 2026. The operation is expected to take place through the Asunción Stock Exchange, with the reopening of two series maturing in 2030 and 2035.
The issue was authorized by the 2026 General National Budget and will offer the bonds under the financial terms set out in the operation’s prospectus. Investors will be able to participate through authorized brokerage firms, the Asunción Stock Exchange and the Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP), the country’s monetary authority.
With the new auction, the government intends to obtain immediate liquidity to finance part of the budget while expanding investment options in Paraguay’s capital market. The strategy also seeks to reduce dependence on external operations and encourage trading in public-sector bonds denominated in guaraníes.
The three previous issues totaled 2.032 trillion guaraníes, equivalent to approximately US$338.8 million. The first took place on April 22, for 698 billion guaraníes (US$11.6 million); the second, on June 24, reached 974.35 billion guaraníes (about US$162.3 million); and the third, held on July 29, involved 360.548 billion guaraníes (approximately US$60 million).
The first two operations were conducted by the BCP. The third marked the year’s debut on the Asunción Stock Exchange, and the September issue will be the second held in that setting. The change expands the stock market’s role in distributing domestic public debt.
In addition to domestic placements, the government has already issued US$1.6388 billion in bonds on the international market. Of that total, 79.3% corresponds to external operations, while the new issue represents another step in efforts to strengthen the State’s local financing base.
