From Burichard, where the president of the IND, Francisco Ruiz Díaz, is for the press conference after the meeting with the President of the Republic. We hear you, Mr. President. Good afternoon everyone. Well, to explain what was discussed with the President of the Republic, in order to analyze, firstly, the progress being made in the area of land titling, especially that incentive that we had established at the beginning of President Santiago Peña's administration in relation to the reduction of the price of lots in favor of women. We did this by eliminating the interest rate that significantly increased the price of a property when it came to women. So, we cut the interest rate, bringing it down to 0%, and that allowed us to provide incentives where a lot for a woman ended up being worth 50% less than it was under the administration prior to President Santiago Peña. And this led us to achieve that since August 15th, if you looked at the statistics, on August 15th you would find that 27% of the degrees were destined for women and today that number is at 58%. So, we realized that an incentive like that doesn't have much of a financial impact, but it does have a good impact in terms of the quality of the delivery of property titles. Another concern arose that we had been discussing with the President of the Republic for some time. We started looking at the statistics and there is a phenomenon in the countryside, not only affecting Paraguay, but almost all countries in the world. In the decade at the beginning of the 2000s, the rural population over 60 years of age represented 6% of the total rural population. When we look at the statistics, that figure has now doubled, it is close to 12%. This means that the countryside is aging, the farmers are aging, which has very serious consequences for food security, improvement, and productivity. People who have to manage farms are already doing so at a stage where their performance levels are quite low, physical performance, right? So, what we started talking about with the president about a month ago is the need to have a new look at rural areas, a new approach. And then we began working on a new policy called the new rurality. and within the new rurality in order to solve this problem of the aging of the rural population and to have what is called, let's say, at the international level, the generational replacement. So, we've decided to initiate a process similar to what was done with the land titling program for women, and starting next week we'll be initiating an incentive program to encourage young people to return to the countryside by offering them 0% interest rates when they become the occupants of these lots. This way, they can take charge of managing the farms and, in turn , encourage young people who have migrated to the cities to return to the countryside, and those who have migrated abroad to return to their respective towns to live with their families again. That is the approach of the new rurality. This is the first action being taken within this new policy. The new rurality incorporates three important pillars. A pillar for improving productivity. The second pillar corresponds, let's say, to the development of markets, and the third pillar corresponds to, let's say, a comprehensive vision of rural development where actions are increased to improve the well-being of the population. These are the three pillars of the new reality. And in this context we know that a community that welcomes back its children is a community that will enjoy greater benefits in terms of well-being. Therefore, the specific conversation with the president and the instruction he has given me is to initiate a process of rejuvenating the countryside by granting 0% interest to young people who decide to go and live with their parents. Mr. President, regarding the new rurality, for which a pilot plan was launched in the department of Ñembú, what specific data is available and is the idea to spread this new rurality to the various departments? Mr. President, also in this action that the President has instructed, which is to grant 0% interest for titling in favor of young people, uh, that is at the national level. And we were concerned, as I said, about the data. Firstly, the population over 60 years old in the countryside has doubled in the last 20 years. And secondly, of the total number of degrees we are awarding, only 15% are intended for young people. In other words, there is a majority of 85% who are currently benefiting from the qualification, but who already require a generational change. So, the parents have no problem giving their children a degree, right? In the case of the launch of the new rurality, it is precisely for the purpose of carrying out small trials so that in a year we will have the expansion, as Juan said, the expansion throughout the national territory. So, what data do we have? And today we have already identified in Ñembula the need to build the multipurpose cadastre of approximately 36 colonies. Of course, that doesn't mean that more cases won't arise along the way because, since the institute's archives are not digitized, colonies may emerge along the way. That's what we always detect when we're in contact with the farmers through the meetings we have with them, right? So, we have very positive data, a lot of work awaits us in the Ñembú department and perhaps one of the most emblematic cases, we have a colony that is that of Sebastián Aboto, which is the one that was formed in 1881 approximately, that is, we are talking about almost 145 years without the colony having been regularized. So, we started there, we began to form committees, we are already working with the residents, we are looking at some budget adjustments, which is a little of what we will require to have a much more significant intervention in that region of the country. Later we want to go to other departments in order to carry out the entire survey. So, that's going to be expanded nationwide. We hope that in two years this concept that we are developing there in Bokú will spread throughout the country. Mr. President, you also participated in the meeting at the SET and we would like to know what your institution's plans are and, well, what did that meeting with the Catholic Church yield? And let's remember that this meeting was held precisely at the request of the government because the Episcopal Conference of Paraguay wanted to hear about the progress that has been made in policy matters, to see first of all what has been achieved, to compare whether what has been achieved is a lot or a little, and eventually what is still missing, how much remains to be done, and what the roadmap is that we can discuss from there. government, Episcopal Conference and other sectors of society. And of course, everyone has their own perspective from a certain point of view. I'll give you the specific case of the institute. The institute, which has been carrying out reform, colonization and agrarian reform in Parag for 145 years, is responsible for this work. There are reports that indicate that in 145 years only 5% of all acquired land was titled, is that correct? Then one says, well, 145 years, barely 5%. So it seems like a small amount, but if we look at the current administration under President Santiago Peña, in 3 years only 4% of students have been certified. So, what can one say? 4% is very little, but if we compare that 4% has been achieved in 3 years, when it took 145 years to achieve it, right? 5%. So, obviously, we're talking about an incredibly significant breakthrough, right? But the problem is what's missing, 91% is missing, that is, we still have 91% of the rural population outside the formal land titling process. And that is the agenda that we have to start building together, the government and other sectors of society, and even more so the Catholic Church participating very actively, supporting these achievements of the government and even supporting the challenges that remain for the government, which in this case are the 21, the 91%. So, that's more or less what was analyzed in the specific case of the land. There is a positive outlook, but at the same time we must also be wary of complacency because there is still a long way to go. So, what was done in these 3 years may be revolutionary, but it was simply to start moving the structure, to move the machinery towards development, and what comes in the future is much more challenging. Thank you so much. See you later. Thus, the words of the president of INDER with important titles in what has to do with the reduction to 0% of the interest rate for women, allowing in this aspect that the cost of the lots is up to 50% lower and the titling of women went from 27% to 58% and the Paraguayan countryside is aging. The president of Inder stated that the rural population over 60 years of age increased from approximately 6% to 12% by the beginning of 2000. And the government is therefore working on a new policy to address rural depopulation and promote generational renewal. And the president also mentioned that, starting next week, incentives with 0% interest rates are planned for young people to encourage them to return to farming.
