Spending for the year
What the Uruguayan state bought in 2003
In 2003 public procurement totalled $ 17.4 billion, up 106.5% on 2002 in current pesos. Inflation accounts for $ 2.5 billion of that: net of it, spending rose 135.8% in real terms. $ 2.4 billion of the real change is not more spending but more (or less) coverage: 66 bodies reported in 2003 that had not in 2002, and 0 stopped reporting. A single contract is 26.2% of the real change: VALIDADORES (Dirección General de Casinos → METALART S.A., $ 3 billion).
Every amount is converted at its own month's exchange rate and deflated by the BCU Unidad Indexada. The series measures purchasing published as open data, not the national budget.
From one year to the next
Each year's change, split into parts that add up exactly. The previous year is first re-priced to this year's price level; what remains is real change, and that is split between bodies entering or leaving the record and those present in both years.
