The note describes Uganda's
impressive track record as a fast reformer, which has been
well documented and widely acclaimed. The country recorded
robust economic growth averaging 6.8 percent in the period
1990-2003, thanks to political stability, and prudent macro
economic reforms that have imposed fiscal discipline,
restructured public expenditure, and liberalized the
economy. The reforms were implemented following a period of
civil conflict (the 1970s and early 1980s) that saw
Uganda's economy spiral out of control. Today, Uganda
has one of the better investment climates, and the most
liberal trade regime in the region. Much still remains to be
done, but there is a commitment to lowering investment
risks, and reducing the costs of doing business, by
implementing efficiency-enhancing reforms, strengthening key
institutions, and providing better physical infrastructure.
The note further reviews public-private partnerships,
private sector consultation, and other parallel, but no less
important, initiatives which have positively, impacted the
quality of Uganda's public private dialogue. |
