Spending for the year
What the Uruguayan state bought in 2021
In 2021 public procurement totalled $ 149.2 billion, up 9.8% on 2020 in current pesos. Inflation accounts for $ 12.1 billion of that: net of it, spending rose 0.9% in real terms. $ 333 million of the real change is not more spending but more (or less) coverage: 20 bodies reported in 2021 that had not in 2020, and 6 stopped reporting. A single contract is worth 11.3 times the whole year's real change: CONSTRUCCION DE CARRETERA (Dirección Nacional de Vialidad → GRUPO VIAL ORIENTAL UNO S.A, $ 14.1 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.
