1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:01,240
If you’re from Uruguay

2
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:02,640
or have visited the country,

3
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,730
your wallet has surely felt it.

4
00:00:04,946 --> 00:00:06,956
A recent study has stated

5
00:00:06,956 --> 00:00:08,536
it is not only the most

6
00:00:08,536 --> 00:00:10,266
expensive country in Latin America,

7
00:00:10,266 --> 00:00:11,896
but also one of the most expensive

8
00:00:11,896 --> 00:00:12,726
in the world.

9
00:00:12,826 --> 00:00:15,106
When the prices of about 600 products

10
00:00:15,106 --> 00:00:16,692
were compared between Uruguay and

11
00:00:16,692 --> 00:00:17,876
43 other countries,

12
00:00:17,876 --> 00:00:20,116
Uruguayan products were on average

13
00:00:20,116 --> 00:00:21,948
27% more expensive.

14
00:00:21,948 --> 00:00:23,346
They cost more than double

15
00:00:23,346 --> 00:00:24,746
than what they do in Bolivia,

16
00:00:24,746 --> 00:00:26,496
80% more than in Mexico,

17
00:00:26,496 --> 00:00:28,616
and 20% more than neighboring

18
00:00:28,616 --> 00:00:29,776
Brazil and Argentina.

19
00:00:29,776 --> 00:00:32,206
They were even more expensive than

20
00:00:32,206 --> 00:00:36,206
countries like France, Germany, or the United Kingdom.
