Economic Context
As of late 2024, Uganda’s economy reached a size of US$49 billion, with a population of approximately 45.9 million. For the 2024/2025 financial year, the Ministry of Finance, Planning & Economic Development (MoFPED) projects:
- GDP: USD 61.3 Billion.
- GDP Growth Rate: 6.3%.
- GDP Per Capita: USD 1,263.
- Internet Penetration: 28%.
The capital city, Kampala, accounts for roughly 60% of the national GDP and is projected to be one of the world's fastest-growing cities by 2035. Medium-term growth is expected to remain robust, driven by infrastructure investment and developments in the oil and gas sector.
