Spending for the year
What the Uruguayan state bought in 2021
In 2021, public procurement totalled $ 149.2 billion, an increase of 9.8% compared to 2020 in current pesos. Inflation accounted for $ 12.1 billion of this variation. Excluding inflation, real spending increased by 0.9%. The real variation of $ 333 million is explained not by increased spending, but by changes in coverage: 20 entities reported procurement in 2021 that had not done so in 2020, while 6 entities stopped reporting. A single contract, CONSTRUCCION DE CARRETERA (Dirección Nacional de Vialidad → GRUPO VIAL ORIENTAL UNO S.A, $ 14.1 billion), represents 11.3 times the real variation for the entire year.
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.
