Uruguay has been a member of the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR), together with Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, since 1991, and Venezuela joined this group in 2012. This commitment to regional integration has been strengthened through the conclusion of international treaties in areas such as goods, services, government procurement, investment and the prevention of double taxation.
Thanks to its strategic geographic position and a highly favorable investment environment, Uruguay currently has seventeen active trade agreements with 18 nations, offering preferences on products and three specific treaties on services, which positions the country as a preferential gateway to markets of significant economic importance.
Uruguay’s notorious political and social stability, together with its macroeconomic robustness and reliable legal system, offer security to investors. This favorable environment is reinforced by more than 30 investment promotion and protection treaties, in addition to 21 agreements to prevent double taxation, thus consolidating its attractiveness as an investment destination.
