Ten-Fold Growth Strategy
01
Overview

A Decade of Transformation

The Ten-Fold Growth Strategy is the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development's pathway to expand Uganda's economy ten-fold — from roughly USD 50 billion today toward USD 500 billion on the horizon of Vision 2040. Its chief architect, Dr Ramathan Ggoobi, has set out a predictable, transparent and investor-friendly environment underpinned by governance reform and a clear fiscal path through the start of commercial oil production.
