Summary:

This paper discusses key findings of the Seventh Review Under the Policy Support Instrument (PSI) for Uganda. The medium-term outlook for Uganda remains favorable but risks are on the rise. Growth is expected to rebound to its potential in the coming two years on the heels of a supportive fiscal stance and higher global and regional growth. It remains vulnerable to exogenous shocks as well as to election-related uncertainties. IMF staff supports the authorities’ request for a new three-year PSI to anchor their near- and medium-term policies.
