 IMF to visit Uganda next month for negotiations on new programme


An International Monetary ‌Fund staff team plans to visit Uganda next month for more negotiations on a ​new support programme, the IMF's ​resident representative in Uganda told Reuters.


The East ⁠African country's previous support programme ​expired in 2024. It later requested ​a new programme from the Fund, but a deal is yet to be ​reached.


"While discussions were constructive, further ​progress is needed to reach an agreement. Staff ‌is ⁠planning a programme negotiation mission in September," the resident representative, Sébastien Walker, said by email.


Uganda's economy has ​been growing ​strongly ⁠and is expected to continue doing so thanks to ​the anticipated start of crude ​oil ⁠production.


But the country is grappling with a high debt-service burden and ⁠weakening ​fiscal position, the ​IMF noted in its latest Article IV Consultation.
