UR-L1170 Program for Strengthening Public Policy and Fiscal Management to Address the Health and Economic Crisis Caused by COVID-19 in Uruguay / Programa de Fortalecimiento de la Política Pública y Gestión Fiscal para la Atención de la Crisis Sanitaria y Económica Causada por el COVID-19 en Uruguay

Uruguay maintains relatively high infrastructure quality for the region, with robust transport networks, energy systems, ports, and digital connectivity underpinning its diversified economy. Infrastructure planning emphasizes maintenance and modernization of highways and urban mobility, energy diversification (including renewables), and improved rural access, supported by stable public finances and private participation. EU and multilateral engagement continues to influence broader regional connectivity and strategic infrastructure financing, even as the country navigates a political shift toward a center-left agenda focused on balancing social investment with growth. Uruguay’s infrastructure environment benefits from stable institutions, moderate debt levels and strong human capital, though it remains subject to broader Latin American challenges in investment scaling and productivity improvements.
