Interest will be converted into, and payment of interest will be made, in USD. Interest Amount: In respect of an Interest Period, the amount of interest per Note will be determined by the Calculation Agent according to the following formula: Adjusted UYU Nominal Amount x Rate of Interest x Day Count Fraction x (1/Relevant Average Transfer Exchange Rate) “Adjusted UYU Nominal Amount” means Specified Denomination x (UIRD/Initial UI) “Day Count Fraction” means 30/360. “Rate of Interest” means 3.40% per annum. “Initial UI” means 1.7938 (the UI rate in effect on the Issue Date). “Interest Period” means each period from (and including) an Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Period, the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the next (or first) Interest A09032383 4 Payment Date. “Relevant Average Transfer Exchange Rate” means the Average Transfer Exchange Rate determined in respect of the Rate Calculation Period for the relevant Interest Payment Date. “UIRD” means the UI in effect for the relevant Interest Payment Date.

If such exchange rate is not reported by Banco Central del Uruguay on any Rate Calculation Date, then the rate used in respect of such Rate Calculation Date for the purpose of calculating the Average Transfer Exchange Rate shall be the Alternative Rate for such Rate Calculation Date. Rate Calculation Period Start With respect to each Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or the Date: date on which the Notes are redeemed following an event of default, if any, the 15th Montevideo Business Day prior to such payment date (the “Scheduled Rate Calculation Period Start Date”); provided that, if the Scheduled Rate Calculation Period Start Date is an Unscheduled Holiday, the Rate Calculation Period Start Date shall be the first following Montevideo Business Day after the occurrence of an Unscheduled Holiday, and if the Rate Calculation Period Start Date has not occurred on or before the 5th consecutive calendar day after the Scheduled Rate Calculation Period Start Date, then the next day after such period that would have been a Montevideo Business Day but for the Unscheduled Holiday shall be deemed to be the Rate Calculation Period Start Date.

Alternative Rate: The rate calculated by the Calculation Agent by polling the Reference Banks at 4:00 p.m., Montevideo time, at the exchange rate for the professional market, by taking the arithmetic mean of the polled exchange rates. In the event that any of the Reference Banks cease to operate in Uruguay, they shall be replaced by the Calculation Agent, for the purpose of determining the Alternative Rate, with subsidiaries or branches of other foreign banks having similar characteristics. Reference Banks: Citibank, N.A., Uruguay Branch, Banco Itau Uruguay S.A., Banco Santander Uruguay S.A., and ABN Amro NV Uruguay Branch, each located in Montevideo, Uruguay. Unidad Indexada or UI: The value in UYU of the unit calculated by the National Institute of Statistics (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica or “INE”) as provided and published monthly in advance for each day from the sixth day of a month to the fifth day of the following month by the INE and Banco Central del Uruguay and is available on Bloomberg by typing “URUIURUI <INDEX> <GO>”.

Interest Payment Dates: April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning October 15, 2008 and ending on the Maturity Date. Business Day: New York and London. Final Redemption Amount: Unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled as specified in the Terms and Conditions, each Specified Denomination will be redeemed by the Bank by payment of its Final Redemption Amount on the Maturity Date.

  • URUGUAY 1. General Trends After Slowing for Three Years, the Uruguayan Economy Grew at a Faster Rate in 2017 Than the Year Befor
    Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean ▪ 2018 1 URUGUAY 1. General trends After slowing for three years, the Uruguayan economy grew at a faster rate in 2017 than the year before and posted its fifteenth consecutive year of expansion. According to preliminary figures, gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 2.7% and is expected to expand at a rate of around 2% in 2018. As will be seen later, economic performance was uneven across sectors, with a combination of favourable and less favourable results. On the fiscal front, the Government continued grappling with a persistent overall public sector deficit, which stood at 3.6% of GDP at the end of the year. Despite implementing several contractionary measures since 2015, the Government does not have much more room to rein in spending and has failed to reduce the deficit meaningfully. The global financial situation led to the Uruguayan peso appreciating against the dollar in 2017, while the country’s monetary policy, focused as it is on managing growth in the monetary aggregate M1, was greatly influenced by fluctuations in money demand. Inflation was unusually low throughout the year, which allowed the Government to concentrate on other policy aspects while contributing to improvements in some social indicators. The upturn in economic activity was linked to improved regional and extraregional external demand, a recovery in consumer confidence and a fall in imports. Investment contracted once again, returning to levels seen prior to the commodity supercycle. Regional demand from Brazil, which had been significantly affected by the crisis in that country, showed signs of improving towards the end of 2017, although trade policy challenges remained.

  • INTELLECTUALS and POLITICS in the URUGUAYAN CRISIS, 1960-1973 This Thesis Is Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements
    INTELLECTUALS AND POLITICS IN THE URUGUAYAN CRISIS, 1960-1973 This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Spanish and Latin American Studies at the University of New South Wales 1998 And when words are felt to be deceptive, only violence remains. We are on its threshold. We belong, then, to a generation which experiences Uruguay itself as a problem, which does not accept what has already been done and which, alienated from the usual saving rituals, has been compelled to radically ask itself: What the hell is all this? Alberto Methol Ferré [1958] ‘There’s nothing like Uruguay’ was one politician and journalist’s favourite catchphrase. It started out as the pride and joy of a vision of the nation and ended up as the advertising jingle for a brand of cooking oil. Sic transit gloria mundi. Carlos Martínez Moreno [1971] In this exercise of critical analysis with no available space to create a distance between living and thinking, between the duties of civic involvement and the will towards lucidity and objectivity, the dangers of confusing reality and desire, forecast and hope, are enormous. How can one deny it? However, there are also facts.

  • General Agreement on L/1475 Tariffs and Trade
    RESTRICTED GENERAL AGREEMENT ON L/1475 15 May 1961 TARIFFS AND TRADE Limited Distribution CONTRACTING PARTIES Eighteenth Session 15-19 May 1961 REPORT OF THE WORKING PARTY ON THE URUGUAYAN SCHEDULE 1. The Working Party was instructed to examine the request by the Government of Uruguay for authorization to adjust the specific rates and "aforos" in Schedule XXXI in accordance with the terms of paragraph 6(a) of Article II of the General Agreement and to report thereon to the eighteenth session of the CONTRACTING PARTIES. 2. The Working Party first considered the information supplied by Uruguay and the International Monetary Fund concerning the extent of the change in the Uruguayan exchange rates. It was noted that: (a) Following 6 October 1949, the Uruguayan exchange rate applying to most private imports, and maintained consistently with the Articles of Agreement of the Fund, had been 1.90 pesos per United States dollar. At present the rate of exchange recognized by the Fund as applicable to all imports was the free market rate, which since October 1960 had been stable at 11.03 pesos per United States dollar; this rate was also maintained consistently with the Fund Agreement. Thus, between 10 October 1949 and the present, the rate of exchange for the Uruguayan peso applicable to most private imports had been reduced by '2.8 per cent. The change represented an increase of 480 per cent in the number of pesos per United States dollar. (b) On 10 October 1949 Uruguay also maintained, consistently with the Fund Agreement, a rate of 2.45 pesos per United States dollar for imports of luxury articles and non-essentials and a rate of 1.519 pesos per United States dollar for government transactions and imports of newsprint, inks and cardboard matrices.
