General government revenue as % of GDP GGR_NGDP
Uruguay's government revenue was 28.93% in 2025, ranked 78th globally. This represents a 3.6% increase from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1999–2025.
Overview
Uruguay's government revenue stood at 28.93% in 2025, a rise of +1.00% from 2024. The IMF projects 28.93% by 2025. Uruguay ranked 78th globally.
Uruguay’s government revenue as a share of GDP has risen steadily over the 27‑year series, climbing from a low of 23.81 % in 2000 to 28.93 % in 2025, the highest level recorded in the dataset and placing the country 78th globally. The upward trajectory reflects a gradual broadening of the tax base and improved fiscal administration, with the 2025 figure matching the all‑time peak and surpassing the early‑1999 level of 24.46 %. Uruguay’s performance is comparable to peers such as Mauritius, which posted 28.96 % and Oman at 28.86 % in the same year, underscoring a regional convergence among small open economies that rely on diversified revenue streams. The continued expansion of public finances suggests that, barring major external shocks or policy reversals, Uruguay is likely to maintain or modestly increase its revenue share, reinforcing fiscal capacity for social and infrastructure spending.
