Paraguay's Financial Market in June 2025: A Balancing Act of Liquidity and Growth

In June 2025, the Paraguayan financial system demonstrated its vitality by maintaining robust growth. According to the latest financial indicators report from the Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP), all indicators showed a positive trend, with financial sector liquidity surpassing 30% to reach an all-time high and profitability exceeding 21%.

The key driver of this growth was undoubtedly the explosive increase in private sector loans. The loan portfolio recorded a remarkable growth rate of 18.89% year-on-year, which can be interpreted as the financial market reflecting expectations of an economic recovery. The fact that loans denominated in the domestic currency, the Guaraní, grew by 20.87% to lead this growth is a significant signal of the potential for a revitalized domestic economy.

However, this growth is a double-edged sword, and it is important to note the changes beneath the surface. Amid the vigorous increase in loans, interest rates also followed an upward curve. The weighted average interest rate for domestic currency loans rose to 14.68%, and deposit rates also increased to 5.43%. Interestingly, interest rate fluctuations varied across different loan sectors. During the month of June, consumer and housing loan rates slightly decreased, while commercial and development loan rates increased. This can be interpreted as a strategic move by financial institutions to concentrate their funds in the industrial sectors that are expected to drive economic growth.

Additionally, the financial system's soundness remained stable. The delinquency rate was kept at a low level of 2.54%, and the capital adequacy of banks and financial institutions was 16.41%, well above regulatory standards. This indicates that the financial system is achieving both quantitative growth and qualitative stability.

The increase in deposits also supported the abundant liquidity of the financial market. The total private sector deposits grew by 10.34% year-on-year, with both domestic and foreign currency deposits showing balanced growth. This will strengthen the funding capacity of financial institutions and serve as a foundation for securing additional lending power in the future.

The capital market also experienced an unprecedented boom. The cumulative transaction volume up to June 2025 reached 27.5 trillion Guaraníes, a 26.68% increase year-on-year. This shows that investor confidence has been restored and that the capital market is becoming a key pillar of economic growth.

Overall, the Paraguayan financial system is sailing smoothly with an ideal combination of "high liquidity," "high growth," and "low risk." Attention is now focused on how future interest rate changes and shifts in loan demand across different sectors will impact the market. If this solid growth trend continues, the Paraguayan economy is expected to gain even more momentum.
