Asunción, Agencia IP.- In a global environment marked by intense competition and rising production costs, Paraguay is emerging as a strategic and attractive destination for companies seeking to optimize operations and maximize profits. Under the maquila regime, the country is positioning as a prominent manufacturing hub, attracting investments and renowned international brands.
Natalia Cáceres Martínez, Executive Secretary of the National Council of Export Maquila Industries, emphasizes that Paraguay offers a highly favorable fiscal environment with a simplified tax system.
The maquila regime involves a single 1% tax on export invoices and the suspension of customs duties to import raw materials, significantly reducing operating costs.
According to Cáceres Martínez, Paraguay boasts a privileged location in the heart of Mercosur, with access to a market of over 300 million inhabitants. Its connections to deep-water ports facilitate exports to international markets such as Europe and the United States.
