Paraguay

Paraguay faces moderate energy security vulnerability with a score of 52/100, primarily due to its 100% oil import dependency and landlocked status. Gasoline prices are $1.12/L, and the country's 45 days of reserves are relatively low, leaving it exposed to global supply shocks. The moderate food risk is compounded by a 42% increase in fertilizer costs. A key mitigating factor is its robust hydropower generation from Itaipu, which provides a significant buffer for electricity needs, but the reliance on imported oil means continued economic pressure from high fuel costs is expected in the coming weeks.
