Inversión Extranjera Directa en Paraguay : primer trimestre 2013

Abstract

This report presents the preliminary results of the flows and balances of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Paraguay during the first quarter of 2013. For the purposes of this report, total coverage of 47% of the total equity, assets, and liabilities of non-financial companies, banks, and insurance companies has been achieved. Non-financial companies have a coverage ratio of 38% of equity, while in the banking and insurance sectors, this coverage is 100%. It is also worth mentioning that for 2011 and 2012, preliminary coverage rates of 86% and 75%, respectively, were achieved. Coverage for these periods will be increased in subsequent reports as greater response is obtained from non-financial sector entities. Therefore, the figures for these periods may vary from previous reports due to the increase in coverage indicated. For this publication, a directory of 115 entities was considered, of which 100 are non-financial entities, 11 are banks, and 4 are insurance entities. For this publication, 3 non-financial entities were excluded and one insurance entity was included. The excluded entities were acquired by residents of the economy. The listed entity received investment contributions from non-residents in its assets during the quarter under review, which qualifies it as an FDI company.
