Uganda’s national policy reforms have helped give its economy a steady GDP growth of 6% (one of the fastest in the world), only recently interrupted by the global Covid-19 pandemic. Uganda has a well-regulated, highly liberalized economy allowing free movement of capital to and from the country. Uganda has no restrictions on the movement of foreign currency in and out of the country.
Uganda has opened up all the sectors of the economy to investment. Its priority investment sectors targeting the ready East African and Great lakes region market are Commercial Agriculture and Agro-processing with the view of expanding exports of processed agro-products to the wider COMESA economic block.
The diversification and liberalization of Uganda’s economy offer investors the opportunity to develop a large portfolio of investments that can supply the entire continent of Africa.
Opportunities are available in the mining, manufacturing, IT, agriculture sectors etc. Most of Uganda’s agricultural products are unprocessed thus providing immense investment potential in value addition to the agricultural sector.
