Paraguay experienced an uptick in its annual inflation rate, reaching 4.0% in June 2025 from 3.6% in May. This resurgence breaks a two-month trend of declining inflation.

In terms of services and housing, the monthly inflation rate dropped to 0.1%, in contrast to 0.2% from the previous year. Domestically produced goods experienced a monthly deflation of 0.3%, an improvement from the -0.6% observed in June 2024.
