8. 在上述条件下，乌拉圭经济经历了一段增长期，直至 1999 年，不利的区域形势引发了经济危机，且国内的宏观经济政策加剧了这一危机。经济危机加剧了贫困和赤贫问题，并使得失业率和移民率显著增加，这就是为什么此次危机被视为乌拉圭现代历史上最严重的一次经济危机。危机在 2002 年达到顶峰，金融体系崩溃，进而蔓延至整个经济体系。人均国内生产总值在 1999 年至 2002 年期间下降了 30%，经过几年的稳定期后，通胀飙升，本币大幅贬值，而失业率则达到17%。
8. The Uruguayan economy experienced growth under the aforementioned conditions until 1999, when, triggered by an unfavourable regional context and exacerbated by domestic macroeconomic measures, a crisis arose. The economic crisis led to an increase in poverty and destitution and to a sharp rise in unemployment and emigration, and is therefore considered to be the biggest economic crisis in the country’s modern history. It peaked in 2002, when the financial system collapsed and the fallout spread to the economy as a whole. Per capita GDP fell by 30 per cent between 1999 and 2002, inflation surged after several years of stability, and the value of the local currency plunged, while the unemployment rate reached 17 per cent.
