This morning, I addressed the nation through the media at @UgandaMediaCent on the progress registered in the industrial sector. The industry sector contribution to GDP is 27.4%. This growth is attributed to an increase in manufacturing activities, which grew by a substantial 11.0% in the last Quarter of 2023/24. The manufacturing sub sector of industry continues to be a key driver to Uganda’s economic growth, creating jobs, fostering innovation and driving GDP growth. Manufacturing is the largest subsector under Industry, contributes 16.5% of GDP, provides direct employment to over 1,000,000 million people, and over 2,000,000 million people indirectly. In addition, manufacturing contributes 30% of the total tax revenue collections, which translates to 8.16 trillion. The number of industries has increased from 81 units in 1986 to more than 9,000 Units in 2024.

It was a great honor to preside over the 101st National Day celebration of the Republic of Turkey at Sheraton Hotel last evening. On behalf of the Government and the people of Uganda, I extended our warmest congratulations to the Government and people of the Republic of Türkiye on this 101st anniversary of the founding of the Republic. Uganda and Turkey have shared numerous high-level exchanges that have further strengthened our bilateral ties. Our two countries play pivotal roles within the framework of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), promoting peace, security, and multilateral cooperation and global development. @NRMOnline @mtic_uganda
