Investment opportunities in Paraguay

(CADIEM)

Paraguay's capital markets have expanded quickly in recent years, with more than 20 brokerage firms now active across the country, according to CADIEM Inversiones President César Paredes. Activity is no longer limited to Asunción. Branches and investors are emerging in Encarnación and Ciudad del Este, widening access to financial products that once seemed out of reach.

CADIEM is part of that story. Founded in 2003, the firm set out to connect savers who relied only on bank deposits with companies seeking longer financing horizons. At the time, professional asset management was still rare. By introducing bonds and preferred shares—simple by global standards but innovative locally—CADIEM began to shape a more diversified market.
