Uganda’s economy has experienced significant growth, increasing twenty-fold since 1986. We now have a GDP of US$ 61.3 billion, with purchasing power parity (PPP) estimated at US$ 174.2 billion.
We have successfully exited the status of a Least Developed Country (LDC) and entered the ranks of middle-income nations. As a result, both poverty and inequality are declining.
The fundamentals of our economy are strong, and the future looks bright.
