00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:01.240
If you’re from Uruguay

00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:02.640
or have visited the country,

00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:04.730
your wallet has surely felt it.

00:00:04.946 --> 00:00:06.956
A recent study has stated

00:00:06.956 --> 00:00:08.536
it is not only the most

00:00:08.536 --> 00:00:10.266
expensive country in Latin America,

00:00:10.266 --> 00:00:11.896
but also one of the most expensive

00:00:11.896 --> 00:00:12.726
in the world.

00:00:12.826 --> 00:00:15.106
When the prices of about 600 products

00:00:15.106 --> 00:00:16.692
were compared between Uruguay and

00:00:16.692 --> 00:00:17.876
43 other countries,

00:00:17.876 --> 00:00:20.116
Uruguayan products were on average

00:00:20.116 --> 00:00:21.948
27% more expensive.

00:00:21.948 --> 00:00:23.346
They cost more than double

00:00:23.346 --> 00:00:24.746
than what they do in Bolivia,

00:00:24.746 --> 00:00:26.496
80% more than in Mexico,

00:00:26.496 --> 00:00:28.616
and 20% more than neighboring

00:00:28.616 --> 00:00:29.776
Brazil and Argentina.

00:00:29.776 --> 00:00:32.206
They were even more expensive than

00:00:32.206 --> 00:00:36.206
countries like France, Germany, or the United Kingdom.
