All public bodies in Paraguay, from the national to local levels, including all government branches and state-owned enterprises, are required to use the SIAF for tracking their financial information derived from the administration of the resources assigned to them, as described in the state financial administration law. The SIAF system is composed of a budget, investment, treasury, credit and public debt, accounting and control system. The OCDS publication includes information about the budget and accounting systems from the contracting process published by the National Directorate of Public Procurement (DNCP).

Data quality
Summary
The dataset has quality issues to take into account, notably:
Release date: all releases share the same date field so it is not possible to tell how up-to-date the data is.
There are some duplicated objects in their contracts/implementation/finantialObligations array extension
