The Bank of Uganda Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted to maintain the Central Bank Rate (CBR) at 10% per annum for the second consecutive quarter, Governor Michael Atingi-Ego announced on Thursday.
Core inflation eased to 4.2% in February 2026, down from 5.1% in November 2025, giving the committee room to hold rates while monitoring global commodity price pressures stemming from ongoing supply-chain disruptions.
"The stance remains appropriate for anchoring inflation expectations while supporting economic recovery," Atingi-Ego said.
GDP is projected at 6.1% growth for FY 2025/26, driven by services and agriculture.
