Sources: 8. Developments: 2. In Uruguay, legislative and political reforms are undergoing scrutiny. Discussions have emerged regarding an upcoming congressional political reform, with commentators noting that while the reform may not fully overhaul the political system, it could serve as a step toward addressing ideological polarization and centrifugal political competition. Simultaneously, in the Dominican Republic, the Senate is reviewing a new law concerning Public-Private Partnerships (APP). While the reform is intended to accelerate these alliances and improve preparation, experts have raised concerns that the drive for speed must not compromise transparency or public risk management. Officials have acknowledged technical and financing challenges, emphasizing that streamlining processes must avoid improvisation to prevent poorly calculated guarantees from impacting future budgets. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-27: Political and infrastructure reforms face scrutiny in Uruguay and Dominican Republic Legislative discussions focus on political reform in Uruguay to address polarization and a new Public-Private Partnership law in the Dominican Republic aimed at accelerating infrastructure investment. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/political-and-infrastructure-reforms-face-scrutiny-in-uruguay-and-dominican-republic ### 2026-09-21: Regional development projects and new market initiatives in Uruguay and Cuba Uruguay's Decentralization Commission reviews $362 million in FDI projects, while Cuba launches 24 neighborhood markets to lower food prices and decentralize commerce. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/regional-development-projects-and-new-market-initiatives-in-uruguay-and-cuba --- Cite as: Political and legislative reforms in Uruguay and Dominican.
