What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Paraguay co-owns two major hydroelectric dams with its neighbors: the Itaipú dam with Brazil and the Yacyretá dam with Argentina. The country earns foreign currency from the energy it cedes to both neighbors and receives annual royalties for the use of the hydraulic power.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Paraguay's Ministry of Economy and Finance projects a 2026 gross domestic product of US$56.5 billion, expecting 4.2% growth. The shared dams represent a main strategic asset for the country, providing a consistent revenue stream.

A candidate, Camilo Pérez, is running for mayor of Asunción while the Colorado Party remains in power.
