Resumen ejecutivo : periodo 2004 y tercer trimestre de 2006

Abstract

This report presents the most relevant aspects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Paraguay, covering the period from 2004 to the third quarter of 2006. It should be noted that the figures for flows and stocks (balances) for 2005 and the second quarter of 2006, published in the previous report, differ due to an increase in the response rate. At the time of writing this report, the data coverage percentage for the third quarter of 2006 reached 74%, using equity as an estimator. Starting with this report, FDI statistics by economic sector, both flows and stocks, are incorporated. The number of companies considered in this report is 136, of which 121 are non-financial companies and 15 are financial entities and insurance companies (banks and insurance companies). We note that during 2006, one FDI company of US origin was removed from the reporting company directory because it was acquired by residents of the economy.
