On October 20, 2021, the exchange rate in the official market was UY$43.378 per U.S. dollar. Uruguay has accepted the obligations of Article VIII and maintains an exchange rate system free of multiple currency practices and restrictions on payments and transfers for current international transactions.

Statistical Issues
(As of October 5, 2021)
| I. Assessment of Data Adequacy for Surveillance | |
| General: Data provision has some shortcomings but is broadly adequate for surveillance. Most affected area is national accounts. | |
| National accounts: In 2020, the Uruguayan authorities completed a revision of national accounts statistics, in which they updated the benchmark year (from 1997 to 2012), set the reference period for the volume estimates in 2016, and adopted the System of National Accounts (SNA) 2008. However, new national accounts statistics are not as detailed as before, and there are not historical numbers pre-2016 still have some shortcomings: expenditure GDP contains some residual components, fixed ratios are used for various activities, coverage of the enterprise survey is limited, the update of the business register is partial, source data for some components of GDP are of poor quality, and information on the informal economy is inadequate. Under the new methodology, GDP time series on the BCU website are available starting in 2016. Developing a monthly indicator of economic activity would allow more timely surveillance. | |
| Prices: The base period for the consumer price index is December 2010 = 100. The CPI has national coverage, and it does not cover either the implicit rent or the net acquisitions of owner-occupied dwellings. The reselection of the sample of detailed products has not been done for an extended period (the current weights are based on the 2005–06 household income and expenditure survey). Producer price indices (March 2010 =100) for national products are available, but do not cover utilities, construction, and services, and exported output. The CPI and PPI would benefit from a more regular and frequent schedule of weight updates. | |
| Government finance statistics: Statistics are on a modified cash basis. Official data on the central administration, the state-owned enterprises and the social security system are disseminated regularly and on time. However, above-the-line data (revenue and expenditure) for local governments are not available. Monthly data for financing and quarterly data for debt for the central government and total public sector are disseminated on the BCU website from 1999 onwards, but no information is reported for publication in the International Financial Statistics. Annual information submitted for the Government Finance Statistics Yearbook covers the consolidated central government (budgetary central government plus social security funds) and consolidated general government, but COFOG is not reported, and local governments information belong to financing operations only; thereby, consolidated general government’s covers only operations and stocks on financial assets and liabilities. | |
| Monetary and financial statistics: Monetary and financial statistics are prepared in accordance with the IMF’s Monetary and Financial Statistics Manual (2000). The authorities report monetary data for the central bank, other depository corporations, and other financial corporations (OFCs) using the standardized reporting forms (SRFs). However, data for the OFCs are limited to off-shore financial institutions. A mission to expand the institutional coverage of OFCs and compile the SRF for OFCs with full institutional coverage was proposed to the authorities and is expected to take place in 2020. | |
| Financial sector surveillance: The authorities participate in the IMF’s Coordinated Direct Investment Survey (CDIS), Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey (CPIS), and Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs) databases. However, only annual FSIs data for deposit-takers and other financial corporations are being reported. FSIs on nonfinancial corporations, households, market liquidity, and real estate markets are not available. The BCU disseminates FSIs for individual banks on a monthly basis and generates FSIs for the banking system weighting individual bank FSIs by their asset share. Uruguay reports data on several series indicators of the Financial Access Survey (FAS) including the two indicators (commercial bank branches per 100,000 adults and ATMs per 100,000 adults) adopted by the UN to monitor Target 8.10 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). | |
| External sector statistics: Balance of payments and international investment position statistics are compiled and published on a quarterly basis. Data are compiled following the recommendations of the sixth edition of the Balance of Payments Manual. Uruguay disseminates the international reserves and foreign currency liquidity data template, submits quarterly external debt statistics to the World Bank’s Quarterly External Debt Statistics (QEDS) database, and participates in the Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey (CPIS) and the Coordinated Direct Investment Survey (CDIS). | |
| II. Data Standards and Quality | |
| Uruguay subscribed to the SDDS in February 2004 and is in observance. | Data ROSC published on October 1, 2001. A data reassessment ROSC on CPI, PPI and NA was published in February 2014. |
| III. Reporting to STA | |
| Both the consumer and wholesale price indices are reported on a regular and timely basis for publication in the International Financial Statistics (IFS). The authorities do not provide trade price and volume indices for publication in the IFS. Annual GFS are regularly reported to STA for publication in the Government Finance Statistics Yearbook. No high frequency GFS are reported for publication in the International Financial Statistics. Uruguay reports to STA balance of payments and IIP data for publication in the IFS and the Balance of Payments Statistics Yearbook. |
