INVESTING IN URUGUAY

Uruguay is located within the strategic core of the MERCOSUR (South American Common Market) with a potential market of over 100 million people and a GPI of 500.000 millions U$ dollars. The Uruguayan economy is strongly based on the agricultural sector, which generates the biggest proportion of the country´s total exports. On top of that, the agricultural sector in Uruguay is experiencing a strong development process taking advantage of investment-encouraging state policies such as:

• Public financial support, with convenient interest rates and terms for investments in land, farm development, stock and machinery.

• Low taxing pressure, with a marked tendency on not taxing land and easily deductible development investments.

• Similar treatment and conditions for domestic and foreigner investors.

• The given conditions make it easy to create societies with no limitations regarding participation of foreign capitals.

• Free financial and exchange rate markets with no restrictions regarding capital and profits movements. • Legal, financial and taxing structure designed in order to encourage investment in agribusiness projects.

For all these reasons is no wonder why Uruguay is currently regarded as the safest country in Latin America when it comes to foreign and domestic investment.
