Bank collapse leaves half of Paraguay without fund access under economist-president

Bank collapse leaves half of Paraguay without fund access under economist-president

What's behind this

The collapse of a prominent bank in Paraguay has left about half the population without access to their funds. The crisis led the Senate to vote to impeach President Santiago Peña, stripping him of presidential immunity and prompting his removal and house arrest. Vice‑president Pedro Alliana was sworn in as the new president following Peña’s impeachment. The impeachment was driven by allegations of Peña’s involvement in the banking scandal tied to the bank’s failure.
