In 2025, Uganda's economy is projected to experience strong growth, particularly with the onset of oil production. The GDP is forecast to increase to 6.2% in FY25, driven by sectors like agriculture and services. Oil production, which is expected to begin in late 2025 or early 2026, is anticipated to significantly boost growth, potentially reaching 10.4% in FY27. 
Key aspects of Uganda's economic outlook for 2025:
Oil Production:
The commencement of oil production in the Lake Albert region is a major catalyst for economic growth, with peak output potentially reaching 240,000 barrels per day. 
GDP Growth:
The IMF and World Bank project a GDP growth of 7.5% and 6.2% respectively in 2025, indicating a positive outlook. 
Sector Contributions:
Agro-industrialization, tourism development, mineral development (including oil and gas), and science, technology, and innovation are key drivers of growth. 
Poverty Reduction:
The projected economic growth is expected to lead to a slight reduction in poverty levels in FY25, with a more significant decrease anticipated as oil production accelerates. 
Challenges:
While the oil sector offers significant opportunities, challenges include securing adequate financing, navigating the global transition to renewable energy, and managing potential risks associated with stranded assets. 
Human Capital:
Investing in early childhood development, including healthcare, education, and childcare, is crucial for transforming Uganda's youth into productive adults and driving future economic growth.
