AsunciónUeno’s collapse froze 3 million accounts and ended a presidency.
Ueno grew on regulatory favours and public-sector deposits while Santiago Peña co-owned its holding group until March 2025.
The Paraguay Senate impeached Peña on Friday despite his resignation offer, and Vice President Pedro Alliana was sworn in minutes later.
Alliana serves until August 2028 and has pledged to restore the frozen accounts.
