Uruguay Proposes Long-Term Infrastructure Planning and Funding Mechanisms

On 19 October, government officials highlighted the need for a national infrastructure system and fund to establish a long-term pipeline of public works and identify sustainable financing. The announcement also referenced more than US$500 million in planned metropolitan mobility investment and housing programmes intended to expand access to accommodation. Public-sector consultants and infrastructure suppliers can monitor opportunities in project appraisal, procurement planning, transport systems and public-service modernisation. HPC can support programme analytics and digital project monitoring; the US$500 million figure relates to planned mobility investment, not a single consulting award.
