Tlo historyczne | A violent Marxist urban guerrilla movement, the Tupamaros, launched w the late 1960s, led Urugwaj's president to agree to military control of his administration w 1973. By the end of the year the rebels had been crushed, but the military continued to expand its hold throughout the government. Civilian rule was not restored until 1985. Urugwaj's political and labor conditions are among the freest on the continent. |

Ekonomiczna pomoc - pobieranie | $NA |
Ekonomia | Urugwaj's economy is characterized by an export-oriented agricultural sector, a well-educated workforce, and high levels of social spending. After averaging growth of 5% annually w 1996-98, w 1999-2001 the economy suffered from lower demand w Argentyna and Brazylia, which together account dla nearly half of Urugwaj's exports. Despite the severity of the trade shocks, Urugwaj's financial indicators remained more stable than those of its neighbors, a reflection of its solid reputation among investors and its investment-grade sovereign bond rating - one of only two w South America. Challenges dla the government of President Jorge BATLLE include reducing the budget deficit, expanding Urugwaj's trade ties beyond its Mercosur trade partners, and reducing the costs of public services.
