Spending for the year
What the Uruguayan state bought in 2013
In 2013 public procurement totalled $ 15.8 billion, up 24.6% on 2012 in current pesos. Inflation accounts for $ 1.1 billion of that: net of it, spending rose 15.8% in real terms. $ 800.2 million of the real change is not more spending but more (or less) coverage: 35 bodies reported in 2013 that had not in 2012, and 12 stopped reporting. A single contract is worth 1.1 times the whole year's real change: BOLSA ESTERIL PARA MUESTRA (Administración de las Obras Sanitarias del Estado → BIOTEN SRL, $ 2.3 billion). Across comparable article codes (34.4% of the year), the change splits into $ -1.1 billion from unit prices and $ 691.9 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.
