Abstract
Uruguay suffered a severe banking and
currency crisis in 2002 from the spillover of
Argentina's crisis. The crisis highlighted important
underlying weaknesses of the Uruguayan financial sector,
many of which were already well known. This Financial Sector
Assessment summarizes the findings of a joint International
Monetary Fund/World Bank Financial Sector Assessment Program
(FSAP) team that visited Montevideo in October 2005 and
January-February 2006. The purpose of the assessment was to
help the authorities identify financial system strengths and
weaknesses with a view to implementing an action plan to
increase the system's contribution to economic
development. The FSAP assessment is based on information
provided by the authorities at the time of the missions.
