In Paraíba, the service sector employed over 157,000 people in 2024, while João Pessoa reported significant growth in tax revenue (ISS and IPTU).

Public safety and health updates include Paraná rising to 4th place in the State Competitiveness Ranking due to improved security indicators, alongside a sharp decline in dengue cases. In Apucarana, dengue cases dropped by approximately 98.5% compared to previous years. In housing, João Pessoa’s ‘Compra Assistida’ program has helped over 220 families move from risk areas, while Paranavaí announced plans for 1,912 new homes.
