### Overview
- This Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes—Data Module provides an assessment of Uruguay’s macroeconomic statistics against the Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS).
- The assessment is complemented by an assessment of data quality based on the IMF’s Data Quality Assessment Framework 2012.

### Key Findings
- Uruguay exceeds the SDDS timeliness requirements for:
  - labor market (employment, unemployment, and wages/earnings)
  - price (consumer prices and producer prices)
  - international investment position data
- No flexibility options are being used regarding real sector statistics.

### Timeliness Flexibility Usage
- Currently, Uruguay is using two regular timeliness flexibility options for:
  - general government operations
  - central government operations
- Uruguay is using an “as relevant” timeliness provision for:
  - analytical accounts of the banking sector for countries with extensive branch banking systems

### Data Quality Assessment
- The assessment leverages the IMF’s Data Quality Assessment Framework 2012 to evaluate Uruguay’s macroeconomic statistics (no further methodological detail provided in the summary).
