Paraguay and Peru have demonstrated improvements in economic and reputational standing within Latin America. As of August 2026, Paraguay recorded 107 points in country risk, positioning it as one of the lowest-risk economies in the region. During the same period, Peru reached 25th place in the RepCore® Nations 2026 study, becoming the highest-ranked Latin American nation for global reputation due to positive perceptions of its culture, gastronomy, and natural environment.

By October 2026, data indicated that Paraguay maintained one of the lowest costs of living in the region, with an estimated monthly individual expenditure of US$935. While Paraguay remains in the lower tier for regional costs, border price data shows that certain consumer goods remain cheaper in neighboring Brazil and Argentina.
