The list of recipients includes suppliers to the ministries of Health, Children and Adolescents, Economy and Finance, Interior, and Education and Sciences. It also covers the Office of the President, Paraguay’s National Postal Directorate, the National University of Caaguazú, the National University of the East, the National Statistics Institute, the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Supreme Court.

The ministry said the Public Treasury continues transferring funds according to the date on which institutions submit their requests. It has published a detailed payment schedule on its website under Citizen Consultation, Payment Calendar and Supplier Payments. The information is also available through the Online Services portal and the National Directorate of Public Procurement’s public purchasing section.
