Analysis# Uganda Total Investment
Uganda's total investment reached 22.169% of GDP in 2026, marking a modest recovery from 2024's all-time low of 21.466%. The country's investment intensity remains substantially below its 2013 peak of 28.948%, representing a 4.4% decline over the 22-year period since 2004. Despite recent stabilization, current levels indicate Uganda has yet to restore investment to pre-global financial crisis strength.
A sharp downturn occurred between 2022 and 2024, with investment contracting from 24.241% to 21.466%—the steepest single-year drop appearing in 2023. Preliminary forecasts suggest a stabilizing trajectory, with 2025-2026 showing marginal growth. Whether Uganda can sustain this recovery and reverse the two-decade downward trend will depend on macroeconomic conditions and policy decisions in coming years.
