A Top Performer

May 2007 | Risk Summary

Uruguay scores 74.8 in our updated short-term political risk ratings, beating regional peers Argentina and Brazil, as well as the Latin American average of 72.5. With a relatively stable government and no fresh election due for several years, policy enactment and continuity is more assured than in other countries. Indeed, we can potentially see this score increasing further as economic success breeds government popularity. Our long-term score of 69.4 is also high in regional terms, and reflects a mature political system and solid constitutional framework.
