The imperative to grow further in light of a new political cycle
Uruguay has had GDP growth of only 1% in the last decade and presents investment rates that are insufficient to close the productivity gap with the rest of the world. The change of government seems an opportune moment to revisit the structural reform agenda and at EXANTE we decided to invite our clients and friends to a working breakfast to analyze how to accelerate the growth of the Uruguayan economy, with an emphasis on three key axes.:
Science, technology and innovation as an engine of economic development.
The strategy for international integration in a changing world.
The need to build agreements to govern.
We've provided insight from Bruno Gili, Juan Labraga, and Mariana Pomiés, along with analysis from our partners Pablo Rosselli and Tamara Schandy.
Below, we've shared the presentation and videos featuring key moments from the event.
