KAMPALA, Uganda – In its latest monetary policy announcement on February 6, 2025, Uganda's central bank has decided to maintain its benchmark interest rate at 9.75%. This decision marks a continuation from the previous period, reflecting a steady stance amidst the current economic conditions.
The central bank's decision to maintain the interest rate at 9.75% indicates a focus on stabilizing inflationary pressures while supporting economic growth within the nation.
