Uruguay Country Profile Dashboard

The starting point is our Uruguay Macro Dashboard, a fully automatized Dashboard presenting up-to-date data. You can catch a glimpse and get a broad idea of the latest developments.

The Charts are fully integrated with our datasets, so if you want to replicate any of them, you can download the source Dataset, or just click the button “Clone Chart” to reproduce the Chart inside our Platform.

The main sources for the data used on this Dashboard come from the Central Bank of Uruguay (BCU), the National Institute of Statistics (INE) and Uruguay's Ministry of Economy and Finances. The data is fully integrated with our database which means once the sources release the data, our database will be instantaneously updated on our platform.

Our Dashboard contains five sections: Activity, Prices, Money and Banking, Fiscal, External Sector and Financial.
