Uganda ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Uganda has
substantial natural resources, including fertile soils, regular rainfall, small
deposits of copper, gold, and other minerals, and recently discovered oil.
Uganda has never conducted a national minerals survey. Agriculture is the most
important sector of the economy, employing over 80% of the work force. Coffee accounts
for the bulk of export revenues. Since 1986, the government - with the support
of foreign countries and international agencies - has acted to rehabilitate and
stabilize the economy by undertaking currency reform, raising producer prices
on export crops, increasing prices of petroleum products, and improving civil
service wages. The policy changes are especially aimed at dampening inflation
and boosting production and export earnings. Since 1990 economic reforms
ushered in an era of solid economic growth based on continued investment in
infrastructure, improved incentives for production and exports, lower
inflation, better domestic security, and the return of exiled Indian-Ugandan
entrepreneurs. Uganda has received about $2 billion in multilateral and
bilateral debt relief. In 2007 Uganda received $10 million for a Millennium
Challenge Account Threshold Program. The global economic downturn hurt Uganda's
exports; however, Uganda's GDP growth has largely recovered due to past reforms
and sound management of the downturn. Oil revenues and taxes will become a
larger source of government funding as oil comes on line in the next few years.
Rising food and fuel prices in 2011 led to protests. Instability in South Sudan
is a risk for the Ugandan economy because Uganda''s main export partner is
Sudan, and Uganda is a key destination for Sudanese refugees. Unreliable power,
high energy costs, inadequate transportation infrastructure, and corruption
inhibit economic development and investor confidence.
