  "account": "Uruguay's economy in 2026 is a balanced system where both the state and foreign multinationals play significant roles. The state owns the largest bank, UTE, ANCAP, ANTEL, and OSE, among other public enterprises. These entities are crucial for infrastructure, employment, and national investment. The president, Yamandú Ramón Orsi Martínez, and his administration set the strategic direction for public enterprises and energy policy. The day-to-day management of fiscal policy is overseen by the minister of Economy and Finance, Gabriel Oddone París. Monetary policy is controlled by the Banco Central del Uruguay, led by Guillermo Tolosa. Other ministries, like the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining and the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries, also shape the economy, particularly in energy, mining, industrial policy, and core export industries. Uruguay's public enterprises are legally owned by society through the state, giving the government direct influence over the cost of doing business.",
  "summary": "State companies, foreign banks and pulp giants share control of Uruguay economy, with pulp exports at US$2.31 billion in 2025. The post Uruguay Economy 2026, Who Runs It and How appeared first on The Rio Times .",
