Spending for the year

What the Uruguayan state bought in 2008

In 2008 public procurement totalled $ 7.1 billion, down 11% on 2007 in current pesos. Inflation accounts for $ 555.9 million of that: net of it, spending fell 17.9% in real terms. A single contract is 25.6% of the real change: IMPRESION DE RECETA MEDICA (NO VIGENTE Centro Departamental de Río Negro → ALCA S.R.L., $ 369 million). Across comparable article codes (53.7% of the year), the change splits into $ -654.3 million from unit prices and $ 469.9 million from quantities — price dominates.

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.

The largest contracts of 2008

When a single contract is a large fraction of the year's change, the year did not rise — that contract did.
