Key findings and outlook
- Uganda’s robust growth momentum continues, supported by strong domestic demand, low inflation, and a pickup in private sector credit growth.
- The outlook is set to strengthen further with the expected start of oil production in late 2026, which would strengthen fiscal and external balances over the medium term.
- Spillovers from the conflict in the Middle East have so far been limited.
Risks and vulnerabilities
- A prolonged or intensified conflict in the Middle East poses a significant downside risk in the near term.
- Other risks include tighter global financial conditions, further delays in oil production, and climate‑related shocks.
