MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, FBIS

SUBJECT Monthly Report--Paraguay Bureau--October 1987
Paraguay characteristically marched to its own economic
drummer during the U.S. stock market crisis this month.
According to Embassy Economics Officer Hugo Llorens, the crash
has had little impact on the local economy although it has
generated some concern about a generalized recession in 1988,
which would affect the demand for Paraguay's exports. The
Guarani continued its steady decline against the dollar, but is
declining much more rapidly against the yen and Deutsche mark;
prices of consumer goods continue to rise.
A. Monitorial/Editorial
--------------------

delivered a speech to the nation to explain his government's
latest economic program. The Bureau stayed open after normal

precedence.

ROSET antenna has been approved, and it is expected to arrive

heavy garbling, the two services moved back to their old carrier
at 4146 MHz.
