Moderating inflationary pressures are evident in Uganda's economy. Annual headline inflation decreased to 3.8% in July 2025, driven by lower food crop and energy prices. The Ugandan Shilling appreciated by 0.5% in July 2025, reducing import costs for production inputs. The Purchasing Managers' Index showed continued private sector expansion in August 2025, indicating a potential slowdown in input cost increases.
