Over a period of approximately 20 years, from the 1990s until around 2010, the average annual rate of economic growth stood at around 7 percent. During this same period, the proportion of the population living below the poverty line declined from 56 percent in 1992 to 24 percent in FY10. Uganda needs to sustain its efforts to deepen regional integration as a means of facilitating greater trade opportunities, but primary agenda remains it its own hands. The first point of action is to address constraints to productivity growth in sectors that have the highest potential for regional expansion, including the agriculture, manufacturing and services sectors. Uganda must advocate by setting an example by removing its own non-tariff barriers (NTB) as a means of encouraging neighboring countries. However, it also needs to use its position to persuade the coastal countries to do their part, since they will also benefit from such programs. In addition, Uganda must seize every opportunity to promote peace and tranquility in the Great Lakes regions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTINGADVERSE IMPACTAGGREGATE DEMANDAGRICULTURAL COMMODITIESAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTUREBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBANK ACCOUNTSBANK RATEBANKING SERVICESBASIS POINTSBINDING CONSTRAINTSBONDBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTCAPITAL ACCOUNTCAPITAL GOODSCAPITAL INFLOWSCARTELCENTRAL BANKCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATIC CONDITIONSCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMODITIESCOMMODITYCOMMODITY EXPORTSCOMMODITY PRICESCOMMON MARKETCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGYCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGESCOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITIVENESSCONNECTIVITYCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONSUMER PROTECTIONCPICURRENCYCURRENT ACCOUNT BALANCECURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICITCUSTOMER INFORMATIONDEBTDEBT RELIEFDEBT SERVICEDEBT SERVICE RATIODEMOGRAPHICDEPOSITDEPOSIT RATEDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT PATHDISBURSEMENTDIVIDENDSDOMESTIC ECONOMYDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC PRICESDOMESTIC PRODUCTSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OUTLOOKECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIES OF SCALEENTRY POINTSEXCHANGE RATEEXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONSEXCHANGE RATE MOVEMENTSEXCHANGE RATESEXISTING INFRASTRUCTUREEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURESEXPLOITATIONEXPORT BASEEXPORT GROWTHEXPORTSEXTERNAL BORROWINGEXTERNAL FINANCINGFINANCE CORPORATIONFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL SYSTEMFISCAL DEFICITFISCAL POLICIESFISCAL POLICYFISHERIESFOOD PRICESFORECASTSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTSFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTMENTSFREE TRADEFULL DISCLOSUREGDPGLOBAL ECONOMIC PROSPECTSGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL MARKETSGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT EXPENDITUREGOVERNMENT SECURITIESGOVERNMENT SPENDINGGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROWTH POLICIESGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCESINCOMEINCOME TAXINCOME TAXESINFLATIONINFLATION RATEINFLATIONARY PRESSURESINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTSINSTRUMENTINTEREST RATESINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINTERNATIONAL MARKETSINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVESTMENT PROJECTSINVESTOR CONFIDENCEITCLIQUIDITYLOCAL CURRENCYLOCAL MARKETSMACROECONOMIC MANAGEMENTMACROECONOMIC POLICIESMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMICROFINANCEMIDDLE INCOME COUNTRYMONETARY FUNDMONETARY POLICIESMONETARY POLICYMONEY SUPPLYMORTGAGESNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNDPNET EXPORTSNEW MARKETSNEW PRODUCTSOILOIL PRICESOIL RESOURCESOIL SECTOROUTPUTSOVERHEAD COSTSPER CAPITA INCOMEPOPULATION GROWTHPORTFOLIOPORTFOLIO FLOWSPORTFOLIO INFLOWSPORTFOLIO INVESTMENTPORTFOLIO INVESTMENTSPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE INVESTMENTSPRIVATE INVESTORSPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRODUCERSPRODUCTIVITYPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPUBLIC DEBTPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC GOODSPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC SPENDINGRAPID ECONOMIC GROWTHRAPID EXPANSIONRATE OF GROWTHRECURRENT EXPENDITURESREGIONAL INTEGRATIONREGIONAL TRADEREGULATORY AUTHORITIESREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY FRAMEWORKSAVINGSSCANDALSSUSTAINABILITY ANALYSISTARIFF BARRIERSTAXTAX EXEMPTIONSTAX REVENUETAX REVENUESTAXATIONTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERSTERMS OF TRADETRACK RECORDTRADE BALANCETRADE BARRIERSTRADE COMPETITIVENESSTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE POLICIESTRADE POLICYTRADE RELATIONSTRADE SECTORTRADE TAXTRADE TAXESTRADINGTRADITIONAL BANKINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSPARENCYTREASURYTREASURY BILLTREASURY BILLSURBANIZATIONVALUE ADDEDVOLATILITYWAGESWORLD DEVELOPMENT INDICATORSWORLD ECONOMIESWORLD MARKETWORLD TRADEWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONWTOWorld Bank10.1596/16541
