Asunción, Agencia IP.- In an exclusive interview in Barcelona, President Santiago Peña spoke about the transformation strategy, the government’s digital vision, and the foundations the country already has to exercise leadership in this digital sector. «I am convinced of Paraguay’s potential to project an interconnected future,» he stated.
«Paraguay can play a leadership role (in technology). This leadership does not come from size; we are a large country geographically, but not as much as Brazil. The population is small. But in the world of technology, what matters is not size but agility to move. Paraguay is determined to be a leader because of its agility, political determination, and the strength of its people,» the president said in the interview with DPL News.
As an example of digitization, the President highlighted that mobile payments have surpassed traditional financial transactions in Paraguay.
«We changed the regulations and allowed telcos to conduct financial transactions, which sparked a revolution. Paraguay is the only country outside Africa with more mobile payment accounts than traditional banks. We could innovate from public policy.»
