Going forward, growth will need to come increasingly from new investments or new activities. That will require more investment, more intensive acquisition of know-how, and more complex collaboration between local and foreign partners. It will also require a far greater role for private sector investment. While Uganda has benefited enormously from development assistance for almost two decades, foreign aid may decline in the next decade. Indeed, Uganda must accelerate private sector investment and growth if it is to achieve the goals set out in its Poverty Eradication Action Plan. To reduce the poverty rate to 10 percent by 2017, GDP growth will have to exceed 7 percent a year, requiring an investment rate of 30 percent or more of GDP. Attaining these targets will be feasible only with reforms to promote private investment.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGACCOUNTING STANDARDSADMINISTRATIVE COSTSAGRICULTUREALLOCATIVE EFFICIENCYANNUAL SALESAPPROPRIATIONSBANK LOANSBANKING SECTORBANKING SYSTEMBANKSBENCHMARKSBUDGET EXECUTIONBUDGET MONITORINGCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY UTILIZATIONCAPITAL FLIGHTCAPITAL FLOWSCAPITAL FORMATIONCAPITAL NEEDSCIVIL SERVICECOMPETITIVE MARKETSCOMPETITIVENESSCONSUMERSCOST OF CAPITALCREDIT RATINGSCREDITWORTHINESSCROWDING OUTDEBTDEBT RELIEFDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDIVIDENDSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMIC RECOVERYECONOMIC REFORMELECTRICITYELECTRICITY GENERATIONEMPLOYMENTENTREPRENEURSHIPEXCHANGE RATEEXCHANGE RATESEXCISE TAXESEXPENDITURESEXPORTSEXTERNALITIESFACTOR MARKETSFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL SERVICESFISCAL DISCIPLINEFISCAL POLICYFIXED ASSETSFOREIGN CAPITALFOREIGN COMPANIESFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREIGN FIRMSFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTORSGDPGROWTHHUMAN CAPITALIMPORTSINCOMEINEFFICIENCYINFLATIONINSURANCEINTEREST RATESINVESTMENTINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT CLIMATE ASSESSMENTINVESTMENT CODEINVESTMENT ENVIRONMENTINVESTMENT NEEDSINVESTMENT RATEINVESTMENT RATESINVESTOR CONFIDENCELABOR COSTSLABOR FORCELABOR PRODUCTIVITYLABOR UNIONSLARGE PUBLIC ENTERPRISESLAWSLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGISLATIONLICENSESLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMATURITIESNATIONAL INCOMENEW ENTRANTSPENSIONSPER CAPITA INCOMEPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENTPRIVATIZATIONPRODUCERSPRODUCTION FUNCTIONPRODUCTIVITYPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPUBLICPUBLIC ENTERPRISESPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICEPURCHASING POWERQUALITY STANDARDSRATE OF INVESTMENTRATING SERVICESREAL GDPREGRESSION ANALYSISREGULATORY BURDENREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY POLICYRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCE MOBILIZATIONROADSSOCIAL SERVICESSTRATEGIC INVESTORSTAXTAX ADMINISTRATIONTAX CREDITSTAX LAWSTAX RATESTAXATIONTELECOMMUNICATIONSTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTRADE BARRIERSTRADE CREDITTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTREASURYTREASURY BILLSUTILITIESVALUE ADDEDWAGE DIFFERENTIALSWAGESWASTE DISPOSALWASTE DISPOSAL TAXESWEALTHWORKING CAPITALWorld Bank10.1596/14416
