OECD Development Pathways Multi-dimensional Review of Paraguay Volume I. Initial Assessment

Paraguay has achieved strong and resilient growth and made progress across a range of development outcomes since it emerged from a prolonged period of economic and political instability in the early 2000s.

In 2014, the country adopted its first National Development Plan, setting course towards an ambitious vision of the country's future.

To maintain the pace of economic growth and achieve more inclusive development Paraguay will need to overcome a number of institutional, economic and social constraints that challenge its development model.

This first volume of the Multi-dimensional Review of Paraguay analyses the country's development performance and presents the main constraints to the country's development.

It examines five broad areas, corresponding to the key areas of the Sustainable Development Goals: prosperity, people's well-being, planet, peace and institutions, and partnerships and financing.
