Summary:

This paper discusses Uganda’s First Review Under the Policy Support Instrument (PSI). Growth has continued to recover from the 2011–2012 low. In an environment of declining inflation—recently halted by a drought-driven food price shock—the fiscal stimulus has been successful in driving economic activity, and a planned program of infrastructure investment is expected to boost growth further. The external accounts remain sustainable. The current account deficit declined mainly owing to a temporary slowdown of foreign direct investment-related imports. With satisfactory program performance, IMF staff supports completing the first PSI review and increasing the ceiling on nonconcessional borrowing.
