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. 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. 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.
