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

Governments Hate This Trip

Paraguay doesn’t make headlines—and that’s exactly what makes it powerful. No wealth tax. No global tax. No chaos. This year, I’m leading a private group into the heart of Latin America’s best-kept secret. You’ll get boots-on-the-ground access to lawyers, investments, and a second residency most people don’t even know exists. Governments hate this strategy—and that’s exactly why it works. If you’re serious about a real escape plan, go to ExpatMoney.com/Paraguay.
