The Paraguayan Chamber of Deputies is advancing several legislative priorities, with a renewed focus on strengthening the Registry of Delinquent Alimony Debtors (Redam). This effort aims to protect the rights of children and adolescents by addressing systematic failures in child support payments, complementing ongoing reforms to the ‘Ley Memby’ (Childhood and Adolescence Code) intended to expedite alimony collections.

Legislative bodies continue to work toward the integration of a Bicameral Commission to study the 2027 National General Budget (PGN 2027). This commission remains tasked with analyzing budget modifications before issuing formal reports.

Regarding infrastructure, the Chamber is moving forward with a USD 1 million donation agreement for the ‘Itapúa Logistics and Transport Infrastructure Project.’ This funding is designated for the rehabilitation of approximately 310 kilometers of strategic roads within the Itapúa Department.
