Today I presented the National Budget Speech outlining government priorities and allocations for the Financial Year 2026/27 at Kololo independence ground In my speech I stated that Uganda has become a land of opportunity and promise. Our economy has expanded to USD 69 billion and is projected to grow at double-digit rates,driven by strong export performance, first oil, & sustained wealth-creation interventions. More importantly, this growth is increasingly translating into jobs, higher incomes and better livelihood for Ugandans. I also noted that Investor confidence is rising, and the Ugandan diaspora is responding with increased remittances, investment and active participation in our transformation. This Budget aims to accelerate the attainment of the Tenfold Growth Strategy,adding that Government has allocated 95.6 percent of discretionary resources to the ATMS—Agro-industrialisation, Tourism Development, Mineral-Based Industrialisation, and Science, Technology and Innovation—and their key enablers. This Budget prioritises production, productivity, value addition, exports, and job creation. I invite the private sector to take full advantage of these opportunities to create wealth. I also stated that Budget launches Uganda into the “Kisanja No More Sleep” and Every Ugandan must actively engage in wealth creation, and every leader must be accountable for transforming households and communities. The era of planning and debate is over and the era of implementation and results has begun. Our mission is clear produce more, earn more, export more, and lift every household out of subsistence. I dedicate this Budget to all wealth creators, especially the youth, whose energy, enterprise and innovation will drive Uganda’s transformation into a 500-billion-dollar economy. #KnowYourBudget26

Science, Technology, and Innovation remain central to Uganda's strategy of achieving tenfold economic growth and building a knowledge-based economy. #KnowYourBudget26

Government of Uganda has allocated UGX 10.21 trillion to security, governance, and rule of law institutions for FY 2026/27,@henrymusasizi1 #KnowYourBudget26

“Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), including ICT and the creative arts, are critical drivers of productivity, industrialisation and competitiveness. They provide the tools to modernise production, create high-value jobs, and expand Uganda’s participation in the global knowledge economy. For Uganda to achieve a tenfold expansion of the economy, STI is going to be at the centre of our development strategy” - Hon. @henrymusasizi1. #KnowYourBudget26 #OpenGovUg

Uganda’s economic outlook remains strong and positive #KnowYourBudget26

On Economic Growth: Uganda’s GDP is estimated to be $197.1 billion. GDP per capita is projected to increase to $1,420, equivalent to approximately UGX 5.1 million per person.   With commercial oil production commencing later this calendar year, growth is projected to accelerate to 10.2% in FY 2026/27, marking Uganda’s first return to double‑digit growth since the reforms of the 1990s. Most importantly, a larger economy will create more jobs, raise household incomes, expand opportunities for business, and generate the resources required to invest in quality education, healthcare, security, infrastructure, and other public services that improve the lives of Ugandans. This performance confirms that our strategy of investing in security, infrastructure, wealth creation, and the productive sectors is delivering results. #KnowYourBudget26 #OpenGovUg
