Uruguay’s government is reportedly considering adhering to public procurement principles – including free competition, transparency, and best value – when issuing Eurobonds. This potential shift comes after concerns raised by Frente Amplio (FA) representative, María Eugenia Román, during negotiations. Román questioned the removal of these obligations from the current project proposal. She specifically challenged why the project would bypass established guidelines for open competition and clear processes. The FA seeks assurances that the Eurobond issuance will align with administrative contracting standards. This move would aim to ensure fairness and optimize value for the nation in the Eurobond process. The government’s acceptance of these principles remains contingent on further discussion and agreement.
