If you’re from Uruguay
or have visited the country,
your wallet has surely felt it.
A recent study has stated
it is not only the most
expensive country in Latin America,
but also one of the most expensive
in the world.
When the prices of about 600 products
were compared between Uruguay and
43 other countries,
Uruguayan products were on average
27% more expensive.
They cost more than double
than what they do in Bolivia,
80% more than in Mexico,
and 20% more than neighboring
Brazil and Argentina.
They were even more expensive than
countries like France, Germany, or the United Kingdom.
