Paraguay Won't Devalue Its Basic Money Unit
Paraguay refused a IMF recommendation to devalue the guaraní from 126 to 186 per dollar. President Stroessner’s government maintains monetary stability despite a four year trade deficit, rising imports, and dwindling foreign reserves. Exports reached about 45 million dollars in 1969 against 69 million imports, with a record 20 million dollar deficit. Public debt exceeds 150 million, with service costs around 20 million yearly. The regime rejected devaluation but cut imports and limited luxury credit. Savings deposits at 6 percent remain high, with little demand to convert guaranís to dollars.
