Major findings and assessment

- There is significant room to improve the methodological soundness, accuracy, and reliability of the statistics.
- Specific weaknesses identified include limited data sources for most sectors and insufficient data validation and statistical techniques for most datasets.
- Paraguay should improve the access to official statistics and metadata.
