Uganda Infrastructure Report Q3 2011
Business Monitor International, July 2011, Pages: 58
The Uganda Infrastructure Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, infrastructure associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Uganda's infrastructure industry.
Foreign investment in Uganda remains strong despite recent unrest in the country surrounding the elections earlier in the year. On the plus side, President Museveni's victory brought continued political stability in the country until 2016 as well as pledges to increase infrastructure investment. The construction sector is expected to outpace growth in the wider economy with year-on-year (y-o-y) growth of 7.8% forecast for 2011.
Key developments this quarter included:
- In June 2011, the government announced it was allocating additional funding of US$340mn to address the increasing demand for electricity and to develop the oil and gas reserves in the Albertine Graben.
- In May 2011, the European Investment Bank (EIB) partnered with a number of other international development banks to provide Uganda with loans and grants to the value of EUR178mn. The funds will contribute to a EUR212mn (US$308mn) water and sanitation project in Kampala which will improve water services through pipe rehabilitation, treatment plant upgrading and network expansion. It is expected to benefit around 2mn people.
- Allegations of corruption in the recent presidential elections have continued to persist with little substantive counter-evidence produced by the president. This presents downside risk for the country's business environment and to an extent threatens inflows of foreign investment.
- Uganda is expected to experience strong headline real GDP growth over the coming years, especially after oil begins flowing in 2012. Over the medium term we believe that political turmoil will keep the country below its full potential – particularly with regards to investment and tourism – while inflation will constrain consumption.
Corruption remains a significant problem in Uganda and permeates all levels of government and industry. Despite promises by President Museveni to fight corruption, investors have little faith in a significant improvement in the near term.
