Spending for the year
What the Uruguayan state bought in 2026
2026 is still running. The figures cover what is published so far and are not annualised.
In 2026 public procurement totalled $ 119.1 billion, down 33.6% on 2025 in current pesos. Inflation accounts for $ 6.8 billion of that: net of it, spending fell 37.4% in real terms. A single contract is 18.3% of the real change: SERVICIO DE CHOFER (Administración Nacional de Usinas y Trasmisiones Eléctricas → ESTILO S R L, $ 12.3 billion). Across comparable article codes (27.8% of the year), the change splits into $ -6.8 billion from unit prices and $ 4.4 billion from quantities — price dominates. Note: 2026 is still running, so the total is not comparable with a full 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.
