Political and regulatory scrutiny has intensified regarding the Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP) and the stability of the national banking system. The tension began when legislator Roberto González threatened impeachment proceedings against BCP head Carlos Carvallo Spalding, alleging potential conflicts of interest due to Spalding’s previous role as president of Ueno Bank. González also criticized legislative changes that he argued weakened conflict of interest prevention laws and financial solvency requirements. In response to requests from the Senate, the BCP submitted a 31-page confidential report to lawmakers. Senate President Basilio Núñez confirmed receipt of the documents in a sealed envelope, noting that the information is protected by banking secrecy laws. The Senate's leadership laws and legal advisors that legislators are reviewing the material to determine which portions can be disclosed. now bound by legal confidentiality obligations. The report addresses information requests regarding several financial institutions, including Ueno Bank, Sudameris Bank, and Banco Atlas. Amidst the scrutiny, the BCP issued a formal statement to debunk social media rumors claiming a potential intervention in the national financial system, characterizing such claims as “totally false.” The central bank emphasized that the national financial system maintains adequate levels of solvency and liquidity and continues to operate normally. Regarding the specific oversight of Ueno Bank, the bank’s president, Juan Manuel Gustale, previously stated that the institution had not received extraordinary sanctions or bailout plans, describing regulatory observations as part of standard oversight processes.
