At the same time, we want to recognize the pending structural changes and in this way guide the reforms necessary for sustainable development. From this vision, we have selected the themes for this second edition ”.

The economist Mario Romero, from the Paraguay-REDIEX Investment and Export Network, will start the cycle with a talk entitled “Paraguay, land of opportunities”.
