Paraguay’s Infrastructure Boom
In 2025, Paraguay is experiencing a remarkable infrastructure investment boom, driven by public-private partnerships (PPP) and international financing programs.
During the CAVIALPA Forum 2025 in Asunción, CAF Asset Management (Development Bank of Latin America) highlighted Paraguay as one of the most attractive markets for private infrastructure investment in South America.
Major Ongoing Projects
National Route PY02 – The Backbone of the Economy The Spanish company Sacyr Concesiones is expanding the main highway connecting Asunción and Ciudad del Este. The project covers 172 kilometers under a 30-year PPP contract. In April 2025, a new 3.6 km elevated section was approved, including routes through Ypacaraí, Areguá, and San Bernardino. Investment volume: approximately USD 180 million.
Northern Road Network – Supported by OPEC Fund & CAF Another major project focuses on the modernization of Route PY22, linking Concepción, Vallemí, and San Lázaro. It is financed through a USD 50 million loan from the OPEC Fund for International Development, with co-financing from CAF. Over 125,000 residents in the northern departments will benefit directly from improved connectivity.
National Development Plan 2025 to 2025 The Ministry of Public Works (MOPC) has announced an infrastructure investment package worth USD 3 billion. By 2028, more than 2,000 km of roads are expected to be built or upgraded including key routes such as the “Milk Route” in the Central Region and the Bioceanic Corridor, connecting Paraguay with Chile and Brazil.
Telecommunications & Digital Expansion The technology sector is also gaining momentum. Argentine company Nubicom, in partnership with Nokia, has launched the largest 5G network rollout in Paraguay’s history. The USD 200 million project will bring high-speed connectivity to industrial zones and residential areas, positioning Paraguay among the digital leaders of South America.
