COMPOSITE RISK
High risk driven by Labour & Human Rights (severe — child- or forced-labour evidence across 24 goods (US DOL TVPRA 2024)), Corruption & Financial Crime (high — high corruption perception (24/100, TI CPI 2025)), Economic Fragility (high — OECD country risk category 5/7 — high risk (OECD CRC 2026)), Environmental (high — poor environmental performance (EPI 40/100, Yale 2024)), and Governance (moderate — below-average governance score (42.2/100, WB WGI 2024)).
Evidence coverage · complete
The engine sums the available group scores (10), divides by 7, and calibrates the resulting 0–100 base score using the published method. Base 47.6 → published 73/100.
Coverage describes available country-level evidence, not confidence in any entity-level decision. See the exact formula and thresholds.
Paraguay carries a composite risk score of 73 out of 100 on the [S/1] scorecard, placing it in the high risk band as of 25 August 2026. The result is based on 7 of 7 indicator groups (complete evidence coverage); unavailable groups are excluded rather than treated as low risk. It records a World Bank governance score of 42.2 out of 100 (2024, higher is better), a Transparency International CPI score of 24 out of 100 (2025, higher is cleaner) and an INFORM crisis-risk index of 3.4 out of 10 (2026, higher is worse). Exposure includes 21 sanctions or debarment designations linked to Paraguay within [S/1]'s 18-source configured coverage model, using the source data currently available and 24 child-labour category observations and 1 forced-labour category observation across 24 source-listed goods (US DOL TVPRA 2024). The groups driving the assessment are corruption & financial crime, labour & human rights, economic fragility and environmental. All figures are drawn from official open-data sources and carry their own publication year. This is a country-level screening input, not an entity-level determination.

Paraguay scores 73 out of 100 on the [S/1] composite risk scorecard, which places it in the high risk band as of 25 August 2026. The result uses 7 of seven indicator groups and has complete evidence coverage; The composite uses the available scores across seven indicator groups: governance, corruption and financial crime, labour and human rights, conflict, sanctions, economic fragility, and environmental. Groups score 0–3; the available-group average is converted to a base percentage and calibrated using the formula published on the methodology page.
No. Paraguay does not appear on the FATF grey list or black list in the current FATF data [S/1] holds as of 25 August 2026. FATF updates its lists three times per year, so check the current FATF statement before relying on this.
[S/1] records 21 sanctions or debarment designations linked to Paraguay within its 18-source configured coverage model, using the source data currently available as of 25 August 2026. These include 13 on the US OFAC SDN list. Source availability varies and is published separately. A country-level count is a screening signal, not a finding about any specific entity.
Paraguay scores 24 out of 100 on the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index for 2025. The CPI runs from 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean) and measures perceived public-sector corruption based on expert assessments and business surveys.
The US Department of Labor's TVPRA list (2024 edition) records 24 child-labour category observations and 1 forced-labour category observation across 24 source-listed goods from Paraguay: Beans, Bricks, Cabbages, Carrots, Cattle, Corn, Fish, Goats, Hogs, Lettuce, Manioc/Cassava, Melons, among others. 7 of the 24 goods currently map conservatively to the shared S1 sector taxonomy; unmapped goods are retained rather than assigned by guesswork. This is a country-and-good screening signal, not a finding about any specific supplier, product or shipment.
Paraguay scores 42.2 out of 100 on the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators for 2024, where a higher score is better. The WGI aggregate combines Voice and Accountability, Political Stability, Government Effectiveness, Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law, and Control of Corruption.
[S/1] records a normalised conflict-event intensity of 5.0 out of 100 for Paraguay, derived from CAMEO-coded violent event data in GDELT. This measures the volume and severity of reported events over a rolling window; it reflects what has been reported in media, not a verified operational assessment.
The Paraguay scorecard aggregates official open-data sources including the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators, Transparency International CPI, the European Commission JRC INFORM index, US DOL TVPRA, FATF, the Fragile States Index, RSF, Freedom House, ILO NORMLEX and GDELT, together with an 18-source configured sanctions and debarment coverage model including OFAC, the EU consolidated list, UK FCDO and the UN Security Council. Each indicator carries its own publication year, shown on the page, and current pipeline health is published in the source directory. The scorecard was last generated on 25 August 2026.
From context to decision
Country indicators should route diligence, not decide whether a specific supplier is acceptable. Add sector exposure, resolve the legal entity, reconstruct ownership and control, screen connected parties, and verify the facts that matter to the transaction.
Compare nearby jurisdictions in the same regional evidence context.
[S/1] SCORECARD aggregates publicly available country risk indicators from official sources. It supports geopolitical risk scoring but does not constitute a final risk decision and is not a substitute for entity-level assessment. Verify outputs manually.
