What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

The Central Bank of Paraguay took control of Ueno bank, a digital lender, after determining it was insolvent and unable to cover its debts. This takeover triggered a banking crisis that prevented nearly three million Paraguayans from accessing their funds. Following the collapse, President Santiago Peña announced his resignation. The Central Bank of Paraguay subsequently began paying deposit-guarantee money to eligible savers.
