Central Bank of Paraguay swears in former attorney general Marco Aurelio González as board member

The Central Bank of Paraguay held a ceremony for Marco Aurelio González to take office as a full member of its board. In his remarks, González reaffirmed his commitment to the country and to the central bank’s institutional framework, framing his return to the bank as taking place at an important moment for Paraguay and emphasizing that price stability remains a non-negotiable priority. González pointed to Paraguay’s recent economic resilience and continued macroeconomic discipline, and referred to the country’s investment-grade status and the central bank’s previously decided reduction of the inflation target from 4% to 3.5% as signs of policy maturity. The bank and government also highlighted his long institutional background. He has spent more than 20 years at the central bank in senior legal and training roles, most recently served as attorney general, and was presented by officials as a career public servant returning to the central bank’s leadership.
