Why uruguay?

A gateway to Latin America

Uruguay is a founding member of Mercosur, along with Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, and their associated states, and signatory of a FTA with Mexico, accessing a market of 400 million people, which accounts for 90% of the GDP and 89% of Latin America’s foreign trade flow. 

Its strategic location as the gateway to the region offers the perfect springboard to Latin America. Uruguay offers world-class logistics infrastructure, state-of-the-art telecommunications technology and the best energy supply in Latin America based on renewable sources.

Favorable environment for business development

Uruguay leads the main political and democratic stability rankings in Latin America, based on a broad economic freedom policy, without any limit for the allocation of foreign capital from companies, a free exchange market, and no restrictions for the repatriation of profits.

The country’s favorable investment environment and its sound macroeconomic performance in recent years have positioned Uruguay as a reliable and attractive destination for foreign investors.

Likewise, its strategic location and international agreements with the main Latin American economies favor the country’s development as a regional hub.

Uruguay is the most equitable country, with the lowest poverty rate and the highest proportion of middle-class population in Latin America, and has highly competitive, qualified and multilingual human resources.
