Sumario:This paper argues that Uruguay has a long tradition in the liberalization of its finances, materialized in a little-known aspect: the strength of its stock exchange. To demonstrate this, we present several indices of contribu­tions, from its origins up to the end of World War II, and other indicators of the capitalization of the Uruguayan economy, all of them reveal a strong rise of stock market activity until 1913, when control of the exchange fell into the hands of the State and was from that point onwards financed from abroad.
