Spending for the year
What the Uruguayan state bought in 2004
In 2004 public procurement totalled $ 18.9 billion, up 8.5% on 2003 in current pesos. Inflation accounts for $ 1.4 billion of that: net of it, spending rose 0.4% in real terms. $ 169.4 million of the real change is not more spending but more (or less) coverage: 13 bodies reported in 2004 that had not in 2003, and 7 stopped reporting. A single contract is worth 90.7 times the whole year's real change: Centro de Fotocopiado promedio 20000 copias mensuales (Dirección Nacional de Aduanas → LA OFICINA S.R.L., $ 6.9 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.
