10 Case: Paraguay-Paran Characteristics of the Interventions Scarce state intervention regarding investment The private sector invested more than 500 US million dollars in ports and river transportation, in the last 5 years. Great opportunity for the naval industry (100 new barges per year = 100 US million dollars investment per year) The scarce state intervention in planning is generating transportation overcrowding.
