Uruguay: 2023 Article IV Consultation-Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for Uruguay, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2023) accessed December 26, 2024

Summary

Uruguay showed strong resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic, owing to its high institutional quality, strong governance, and the authorities’ policy responses. Scarring effects in real activity and the labor market were mitigated somewhat by the authorities’ well-targeted responses. The authorities’ strong track record of implementing sound macroeconomic policies in a challenging environment has improved the country’s resilience to shocks. Since September 2022, the country is undergoing the most severe drought in forty years.
