Paraguay flag Paraguay

The Paraguayan Guarani (PYG) is the national currency of Paraguay, introduced in 1943 to replace the peso. Issued by the Central Bank of Paraguay, the guarani has historically experienced inflation but remains the primary means of exchange in the country. The currency is available in both banknotes and coins, although lower denominations have become less common due to inflation. Paraguay’s economy is heavily based on agriculture and hydroelectric energy, which influences the stability of the guarani.
