    Uruguay's economy vulnerabilities: inflation and budget deficit, says IMF report

    The Uruguayan economy is decelerating gradually after a decade of strong and inclusive growth.

At the same time, inflation remains above the target range and the primary fiscal balance has weakened further in 2014.
