Asunción: In December 2023, the average of active interest rates in Guaranies was at an average of 14.47%, below the result of November 2023 and the level of December 2022.

This means that the interest rate decreased by 0.92% compared to November and 0.82% compared to December 2022. As published by the Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP) in its Financial Indicators Report.

The reduction in interest rates as a result of the issuer’s current expansionary policy creates a favorable scenario for higher dynamics of the economy, based on the upward dynamics of loans.
