Paraguayan President Resigns Amid Ueno Bank Crisis and Protests

Paraguayan President Santiago Peña resigned on 2 November after the Central Bank of Paraguay seized fintech lender Ueno Bank, freezing the deposits of millions and prompting protests and impeachment proceedings in Asunción, officials said. The resignation followed a week of turmoil that began on 2 November when the central bank placed Ueno into resolution after its capital adequacy fell below legal limits, jeopardising customer savings and public pension funds, authorities said. The bank’s collapse also led to the resignation of central bank chief Carlos Carvallo, and lawmakers and demonstrators subsequently called for the president’s impeachment.
