The unit of account used in the Uruguay financial system is known as the Unidad Indexada (UI), introduced in 2002 to act as a hedge against inflation. It is an index-linked, non-circulated currency that adjusts daily based on changes to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is measured by the National Institute of Statistics (INE). It is primarily used for long-term contracts, such as real estate transactions, mortgage loans, and savings, to provide stability and protect against inflation.
