These rivers are the boundaries with Brazil and Argentina and most of the waterways are under joint management. This inland water transport is mainly used for international trade cargo. Principal export/import ports are described below: – Concepción Port: Located 1,940 km from Buenos Aires and in the independent management section of the Paraguay River running through Paraguay. This port is mainly used to load beans on vessels. – Asuncion Port: Located 1,630 km from Buenos Aires, this port is used for cotton export and principal everyday commodities, such as general cargoes and automobiles, are imported in containers via the Paraguay River. – Villeta Port: Located 37km to the south of Asuncion Port and used for export of beans and cotton. – Villa Hayes Port: Located near Asuncion and used for the import of steel making raw materials. – Villa Elisa Port: Located near Asuncion and used for the import of oils. – San Antonio Port: Located near Asuncion and used for the export of beans. – Vallemi Port: Port to import cement raw materials. – Encarnación: Located on the Parana River, 1,583km from Buenos Aires, and used for the export of beans.

Country and sector issues General Economic Context Between 1999 and 2001 Uruguay endured a prolonged economic recession that ended in a deep crisis in 2002. The slowdown was prompted by several external shocks: Brazilian devaluation (1999), foot and mouth disease outbreak (2001), and weak commodity prices and oil price increases. However, it was the Argentine debt, currency and financial crisis of 2002 that Public Disclosure Authorized triggered the crisis and output collapse in Uruguay. As a result, income inequality and unemployment rose (the latter increased from 11.4 percent in 1999 to 19.7. percent in late 2002), and the fiscal situation deteriorated (fiscal deficit increased from 1 percent of GDP in the 1990s to 4 percent in 2001). 1 Furthermore, a sharp devaluation of the peso in 2002 worsened public debt indicators because a large share of both domestic and foreign debt was held in dollars. The fiscal pressures exerted by the crisis together with a traditionally large participation of the public sector in the provision of infrastructure services, adversely affected their delivery and consequently, the competitiveness of the economy.

Key development issues and rationale for Bank involvement Public Disclosure Authorized Background Uruguay’s historically high level of economic and social development relative to the region, was further improved in the 1990’s due to a stint of steady economic growth during that period, where the average annual growth rate between 1990 and 1998 reached 3.6%. Many Millennium Development Goals had been attained or seemed attainable, and the Bank even envisioned the possibility of gradual disengagement. However, Uruguay entered into a severe economic recession which was compounded by several external shocks; Argentine crisis (2002), Foot and Mouth disease outbreak (2001), Brazilian devaluation (1999), and weak commodity prices and oil price increases. As a result, income inequality and unemployment rose (the latter rose from 11.4% in 1999 to 15.3% in 2001)1 , and the fiscal situation deteriorated (fiscal deficit increased from 1% of GDP in the 1990s to 4% in 2001).

  • To Readers of the Attached Code-Share List
    TO READERS OF THE ATTACHED CODE-SHARE LIST: The U.S. Air Carrier Licensing Division’s code-share list is an informal compilation of code-share relationships between U.S. and foreign air carriers involving the transportation of passengers. As such, it does not represent a complete compilation of all code shares e.g. cargo and mail only. New code-share relationships are continually being negotiated, and the ones reflected in the attached listing may or may not be still in place or be of a continuing nature. Similarly, the list may not reflect all existing code shares of a particular type, or all existing types of code shares. This list is not an official document of the Department of Transportation and, accordingly, should not be relied upon or cited as such. NOTE: THIS LIST IS COMPRISED OF ONLY THOSE CARRIERS WHOSE CODE-SHARE RELATIONSHIPS ARE OF A NEW OR CONTINUING BASIS. DORMANT CODE-SHARE RELATIONSHIPS TO THE EXTENT KNOWN HAVE BEEN DELETED. Block descriptions of certain code-share arrangements approved for the same term may have been compressed into one block description to conserve space. If the authorities are not new or changed, but only compressed, the compressed descriptions will not appear in bold type. Carriers must notify the Department no later than 30-day before they begin any new code-share service under the code-share services authorized. This report is current through July 31, 2021. Changes from the previous reports are noted in bold type. Regional carriers operating for large carriers (e.g. Delta Connection, American Eagle, United Express) will be listed in the endnotes of this report.
