Resumen ejecutivo : periodo 2004 y 2006

Abstract

This report presents the most relevant facts regarding Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Paraguay, covering the period from 2004 to 2006. It should be noted that the figures for flows and stocks (balances) for 2005 and 2006, published in the previous report, differ due to the increase in data received from FDI companies in the non-financial sector. At the time of this report, the published FDI figures represent 80% of the directory of FDI reporting companies, measured by total equity. The number of companies considered in this report is 138, of which 123 are non-financial companies and 15 are financial entities and insurance companies (banks and insurance companies). We note that during 2006, a US-based FDI company was removed from the reporting company directory because it was acquired by residents of the economy.
