Analysis# Paraguay Real GDP Growth
Paraguay's real GDP growth stands at 3.7% in 2026, representing a substantial decline from its 1980 peak of 11.7% but well above the 1983 low of -3%. The 50-year period from 1980 to 2026 reveals a total contraction of 68.4 percentage points, reflecting fundamental shifts in economic performance across decades.
The early 2020s marked a critical turning point after Paraguay endured consecutive contractions in 2019 and 2020. Recovery accelerated sharply in 2023 with 5% growth, the strongest performance since 2017's 4.8%. Forward projections suggest continued moderation, with growth decelerating from the 2023 peak toward the 3.7% baseline forecast for 2026, indicating stabilization at a sustainable mid-range trajectory rather than expansion.
