Spending for the year
What the Uruguayan state bought in 2024
In 2024, state procurement reached $ 215.3 billion, an increase of 15.4% compared to 2023 in current pesos. Inflation accounted for $ 9 billion of this change; excluding it, real spending rose by 10.5%. A single contract, Rubros Globales (I, II, III) 2024 (Administración de las Obras Sanitarias del Estado → SACEEM, for $ 33.5 billion), is equivalent to 1.7 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.
