Uganda: Post-Financing Assessment Discussions-Press Release; and Staff Report

International Monetary Fund

No 2026/026, IMF Staff Country Reports from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: Uganda’s post-pandemic economic performance has been robust with broad-based growth, contained inflation, and an improving external position supported by coffee exports and portfolio inflows. Foreign exchange (FX) reserves have also increased significantly in 2025 amid a favorable external environment. Nonetheless, fiscal policy space remains constrained, with rising vulnerabilities associated with widening fiscal deficits and a high debt servicing burden.
