397: Paraguay’s Inflection Point: 2 Decades Of Insights – Gerold Pankl
Some countries are peaking… others are just getting started. In today’s episode, you’ll hear a conversation that I recorded during one of my recent Paraguay Exploration & Investment Tours, where I sat down with Gerold Pankl to talk about what he’s seeing after nearly two decades of living, investing, and building in Paraguay as a foreigner.
Gerold first arrived in Paraguay through agricultural investment work almost 20 years ago and never left. Together, Gerold and I dig into why Paraguay has become one of the most strategic Plan-B jurisdictions in the world, how the new infrastructure (bridges, highways, logistics routes, airports, and potential railway) is reshaping opportunity corridors and how people just like you are securing massive upside here by getting in on the growth early.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE:
- We get Gerold’s 20-year perspective on how Paraguay has matured into what it is today
- Hear an expert perspective on why Paraguay’s fundamentals are unusually strong for a “developing” country
- We break down the investment logic behind his current region of focus inside Paraguay, Nueva Asunción
- Learn why Paraguay appeals to expats: straightforward residency, low taxes, and minimal carrying costs that make investing easier
