Summary: | 1. With sound policies and a broadly supportive environment, Uruguay has further consolidated economic gains. With growth at over 13 percent during the first semester, even if real GDP remained constant during the second semester, growth would still exceed 9.5 percent in 2008. Poverty has continued to fall, and unemployment has reached record lows. Several years of real income increases and a recent pick up in bank lending are boosting consumption. Capital formation has also risen strongly, particularly in the agriculture, industry, and transport sectors, aided by strong FDI flows. Cautious fiscal policy has helped reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio, while debt management operations have continued to improve the structure of the public debt.
