📢 You the consumers have spoken, you prefer digital payments and cheques are on the decline. Cheques have fallen in the last 6 years from 14% of the transactions we clear each year to 6%, reflecting a move to digital payment channels.
This is why we are reducing the limits on cheques between different banks. Here is the full statement.

Ever wondered why prices are still high even when we say inflation is under control?
Governor Atingi-Ego answers exactly that — simply!
"We are not targeting prices. We are targeting inflation — the rate at which prices increase."
Currently at 3.0% (core inflation), Uganda's inflation remains below the 5% medium-term target. That's good news - even if it doesn't feel like it at the checkout!

Today at Nakasero, I met Mr. Aliko Dangote and we discussed the proposed East African regional refinery.
I informed him that from the very beginning, we have always opposed the export of raw materials without value addition. That is why Uganda delayed oil production because we insisted on first having a refinery. Without refining our oil, it would not make economic or strategic sense to simply export crude oil while others benefit from the finished products.
I, therefore, welcomed the idea of a bigger regional refinery because our objective is African integration and shared prosperity. We cannot continue operating as fragmented and weak markets. If East Africa works together, such projects become more viable and beneficial to our people.
Uganda is ready to support the regional refinery initiative while also continuing with the development of our own refinery in Hoima.
