By the end of the next five years, Uganda’s economy should have more than doubled to 158 Billion Dollars (570 Trillion Shillings), according to government projections.
Delivering his State of the Nation Address, which also launches the fifth and last session of the current (11th) Parliament, the President also projected that in purchasing power parity, the economy will reach 296 Billion Dollars by 2030.
By the end of this financial year (end of June 2025), the size of the economy is estimated at 60 Billion Dollars, up from 53.6 Billion Dollars (202.7 Trillion Shillings)
The President attributed this growth to strategic investments in infrastructure, value addition and industrialization aimed at transforming Uganda into a modern, self-sustaining economy.
