Social Accounting Matrix for Uruguay 2022

Abstract

This technical note presents the construction and analysis of Uruguay’s 2022 Social Accounting Matrix (SAM). The SAM integrates data from Supply and Use Tables, National Accounts, household surveys, fiscal reports, and balance of payments into a coherent and internally consistent framework. It includes 21 productive sectors, 5 household groups by income quintile, a central government account, and a Rest of the World account. The Uruguay 2022 SAM provides the empirical basis for calibrating multisectoral simulation models, including Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models, to assess public policies and exogenous shocks. The note also includes an input-output analysis of Uruguay’s productive structure, estimating supply and demand multipliers and sectoral linkages.
