Paraguay’s Peña Seeks 72 Hours for Impeachment Defense as Central Bank Sets Ueno Payout Rules

Paraguayan President Santiago Peña requested 72 hours to prepare his defense for a Senate impeachment trial over the collapse of Ueno Bank, as his resignation offer remains suspended in Congress. Separately on Friday, the Central Bank of Paraguay announced rules to return funds to Ueno Bank customers and defined the first group of account holders eligible for payouts.

Peña remains in office after the Chamber of Deputies voted 78-0 on Thursday to impeach him and a joint congressional session failed to reach a quorum to vote on his resignation. The Senate must decide whether to convict and remove Peña or accept his resignation, a distinction that determines whether he becomes a senator for life with immunity from criminal prosecution as prosecutors pursue three investigations into the lender’s failure, including allegations involving the president.

0.0%
Managed Impeachment Delay
Congress grants President Santiago Peña the requested 72 hours and keeps the impeachment process procedurally orderly. The Banco Central del Paraguay publishes detailed Ueno Bank payout rules, reducing depositor uncertainty but leaving Peña politically weakened.
−0.5%
Impeachment Advances Quickly
Congress uses the end of the defense period to move rapidly toward an impeachment vote. Opposition parties and dissident Colorado lawmakers frame the Ueno collapse and frozen state funds as evidence of executive mismanagement.
Finance −1.1% · Consumer Services −0.1%
−0.6%
Banking Stress Deepens
The Ueno resolution becomes the dominant issue as payout rules disappoint depositors, municipalities, or state-linked entities with frozen balances. The central bank must balance preserving reserves and confidence against political pressure for faster reimbursement.
Finance −1.3% · Business Services −0.2%
+0.4%
Political Settlement Emerges
Colorado Party leaders, central bank officials, and congressional blocs negotiate a settlement that slows impeachment and improves clarity for Ueno claimants. Peña survives in the near term by accepting oversight, cabinet changes, or a formal banking inquiry.
