The country stagnated economically for the next half century.

Economic overview
Landlocked Paraguay has a market economy distinguished by a large informal sector, featuring re-export of imported consumer goods to neighboring countries, as well as the activities of thousands of microenterprises and urban street vendors.
A large percentage of the population, especially in rural areas, derives its living from agricultural activity, often on a subsistence basis.
Because of the importance of the informal sector, accurate economic measures are difficult to obtain.
