Spending for the year
What the Uruguayan state bought in 2019
In 2019, state purchases reached $ 87.4 billion, an increase of 58.9% compared to 2018 in current pesos. Inflation accounted for $ 4.2 billion of this variation. Excluding inflation, real spending increased by 51.3%. A single contract, DISEÑO DE AFICHE (Consejo Directivo Central → TRADINCO S A, for $ 4.6 billion), explains 16.4% of the real change. In comparable categories, which represent 24.3% of the year's total, the change is distributed as $ -1.2 billion due to unit prices and $ 4.2 billion due to purchased quantities, with quantity being the dominant factor.
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.
