Its press also carried 12 foreign-subject articles in these 30 days — counted out of the levels above. Behind the numbers ↓

Pressure index: Normal (+1.0) — driven by markets

Easing ≤ −0.5 · Normal to +1.6 · Rising to +1.8 · Surging above — the 30-day pressure read against the country's own history.

Level = risk-flavoured articles in the country's own press over the last 30 days — what its outlets reported, wherever the story happened — against the country's own baseline (mean of the previous three 30-day windows). Quiet 0 · Low up to the baseline · Elevated up to twice the baseline · High above. Counts, not severities: a press signal, not a rating. Every row links to the articles counted. Titles shown translated are model translations; the others appear in their original language — each link opens the original article. Method →

Behind the numbers

Today's coverage in Paraguay focused on domestic financial instability and political unrest, particularly surrounding Ueno Bank, with the Central Bank intervening and formal complaints filed against the bank. Additionally, there were reports of a storm causing damage in border cities and Amnesty International releasing new documents about the stronista dictatorship, which are foreign news stories.
