2024 Cabinet
As of 2024, the cabinet of Paraguay was mainly composed of members from the Colorado Party. They featured a range of portfolios aimed at addressing the nation's economic, social, and political landscape. While the precise list of twelve members might vary slightly based on how secretariats and key advisors are counted alongside core ministries, the government generally includes ministries responsible for areas such as the Interior, Economy and Finance, Foreign Relations, Public Health Justice, Public Works, and National Defense, among others. These officials are tasked with implementing the government's agenda, which includes commitments to fiscal stability, economic growth, and social protection programs, though challenges such as widespread corruption and the influence of organized crime persist in the political environment.[2]
