Uruguay is implementing measures to maintain economic stability and strengthen the national currency. To cushion the domestic market from international oil price volatility caused by Middle East conflicts, the Executive Branch decided to maintain fuel prices for September. This decision follows a strategy implemented in April to prevent significant increases in gasoline and diesel prices that would have otherwise been triggered by international import parity.

Parallel to these fiscal measures, the country is experiencing a gradual reduction in US dollar dependence. As inflation remains low and economic stability increases, the Uruguayan peso is becoming a more reliable alternative for savings and investment, helping the nation reclaim monetary sovereignty.
