Q How important to Uruguay are the investments by the Finnish company Metsa-Botnia and the Spanish group Ence in the pulp mills on the River Uruguay?
A The investments are very important. They are the biggest in Uruguay’s history and will have a very positive impact on the economy. In total, we are talking about investments to the tune of $3bn. The Nordic group Stora Enzo has also announced plans to develop a pulp mill in the centre of Uruguay next year but that will be much less controversial than the other two.
