In December 2025, Paraguay experienced a 1.2% rise in producer prices compared to the same month the previous year—a decrease from the 2.6% increase observed in November. Inflation within the realm of domestic industrial products decelerated to 4.7% from a prior 6.2%, whereas the decline in prices for imported goods intensified, with deflation reaching -4.8% from an earlier -3.2%. Domestically, the most significant price hikes were observed in the minerals sector, which rose by 1.6%, and in other manufactured products, which saw a 0.6% increase. However, these increases were somewhat mitigated by price reductions in imported metal products, machinery and equipment—falling by 1.0%—as well as in non-metallic transportable goods, which decreased by 2.4%.
