Argus Paraguay Energy Forum

Paraguay is consolidating its position as one of the economic engines of the Southern Cone, with projected growth of 4% for 2026 and macroeconomic stability that attracts investment in infrastructure, energy and logistics, strengthening its role as a regional platform for trade and industry. In this context, the fuel business remains a key component to enable this development.

 

Argus Media specialists will gather at a unique event in Asunción to discuss pricing formation and market intelligence data on crude oil, fuels, biofuels, natural gas, and LPG.

Registration and breakfast

Global energy outlook in the face of the Iran War:

  • Iran war and its impact in global markets
  • Disruption in curde and refined product flows
  • Impact in Latin America and the Southern Cone

Fuels in motion: risks, routes, and realities of the Southern Cone

  • The war in the Middle East is reshaping the global fuels market and creating a “war premium” that directly impacts gasoline and diesel

  • The Southern Cone is being reconfigured: Brazil is exposed to Russian diesel, Argentina faces surpluses, Paraguay shows stronger demand, and Bolivia adds uncertainty

  • Logistics define the market: the Paraná–Paraguay Waterway, Km 171, Nueva Palmira, import routes, and shifts in premiums/discounts

Biofuels in Focus: From Global Conflict to Mercosur Opportunities

  • Conflict and global volatility: how geopolitical tensions are affecting energy markets and redefining the role of biofuels

  • Different markets, different prices: why ethanol and biodiesel respond differently compared to fossil fuels

  • Opportunities for Mercosur: regional supply, international demand, and export potential in the context of the Mercosur–EU agreement

From Vaca Muerta to the World: The Southern Cone LPG Market Flips

  • Current situation, the Iran conflict and global LPG shortage

  • Future outlook: Vaca Muerta boosts NGL supply and creates a structural LPG surplus in Argentina

  • Advantages for importing countries: AFEI consolidates itself as the pricing anchor and reshapes regional flows
