  • The FTC's budget for the current year has reached a record high of 120 billion Paraguayan guaranis.
  • This significant increase is primarily driven by a substantial allocation for personnel expenses, which rose by 30%.
  • The budget also includes funds for the acquisition of new vehicles and technological equipment to enhance operational capabilities.

The National Telecommunications Commission (FTC) has approved a record budget of 120 billion Paraguayan guaranis for the current year, marking a significant increase in its financial resources. This substantial allocation underscores the commission's expanding operational scope and its commitment to enhancing its services.

The primary driver behind this budgetary expansion is a notable 30% surge in personnel expenses. This increase reflects the FTC's efforts to strengthen its workforce, potentially by hiring new staff or offering improved compensation to existing employees, thereby boosting its capacity to manage its responsibilities.

Beyond personnel costs, the budget also earmarks funds for crucial investments in infrastructure and technology. The acquisition of new vehicles and modern technological equipment is planned, aiming to modernize the FTC's operational capabilities and improve its efficiency in carrying out its mandate. These investments are expected to facilitate better monitoring, regulation, and service delivery across the telecommunications sector.
