Montevideo, Uruguay’s capital city, has a very high level of infrastructure, including its shipping ports.

The city’s airport is modern and well maintained, providing a great deal of access to the region. Since the airports and shipping ports are tax free there are many high value companies operating in these areas.

Uruguay’s power supply system is quite reliable and spread to nearly all of the country’s population. As an added bonus, the main source of power comes from renewable energy.

Uruguay has made paying taxes easier for companies by continually upgrading and improving their electronic system for filing and paying major business taxes.

The country has also made trading across borders easier by implementing a risk-based inspection system. The system is designed to reduce customs clearance time for both exports and imports.

In July 2016, the biggest investment in Uruguay’s history was announced. UPM, a Finnish company, will invest US$5 billion over the coming years on projects aimed at improving logistics and infrastructure in Uruguay.

These projects will include over 200 kilometers of highways, new railways from the port in Montevideo, and even port development to increase capacities for import and export.

Sources are estimating that Uruguay could see somewhere close to 8,000 jobs created as a result of this foreign investment in infrastructure.

One thing is for certain, Uruguay has its sights set on improving its country over the coming years and cementing itself as a powerhouse in the region.
