May 7 (UPI) -- Last month, the OECD released its Anti-Corruption and Integrity Outlook 2026, a comprehensive assessment of governance and integrity systems across 62 countries, including Paraguay. The findings for this country were instructive, though not surprising. Paraguay fulfills virtually all formal criteria for conflict-of-interest regulation on paper. In practice, however, implementation falls to just 11%, far below the OECD average of 45%. The gap between what the law says and what actually happens is not a technicality. It is an open door.
