Uruguay’s Producer Price Index fell 1% year-on-year in April 2026, following a 0.7% decline in the previous month.

Producer prices posted an annual contraction for the third consecutive month, mainly driven by negative contributions from domestic agricultural and horticultural products, as well as imported categories including metal products, machinery and equipment, non-metallic transportable goods, and food, beverages, tobacco, textiles, and leather products.

From a grouping perspective, imported products accounted for most of the downward pressure, while domestic products made a positive contribution that partly offset the decline.

The domestic categories supporting the index included food, beverages, tobacco, textiles and leather products, live animals and animal products, and non-metallic transportable goods.
