Uganda is one of the fastest growing countries in the world. The liberalisation of the economy in 1986 contributed substantially to Uganda’s accelerated economic growth and it has experienced average annual growth of over 6% in the past 30 years.
The economy is projected to grow by 6.2% in 2019/20, driven mainly by increased investment in value added activities in the agriculture sector, the services sector and ongoing government investment in public infrastructure. The economy is generally stable, with inflation averaging 6.3% from 1998 until 2019.
