Uruguay - statistics & facts
While many of its neighbors contend with political unrest and economic uncertainty, Uruguay stands out in South America as a beacon of stability and measured growth. Often overlooked in global discussions, this small nation of just 3.5 million people has quietly built one of the most resilient economies in Latin America. In 2023, despite facing a historic drought that significantly impacted agriculture, Uruguay's gross domestic product (GDP) still grew by 0.74 percent, reaching an estimated 78 billion U.S. dollars.
