through its wealth of human capital, numerous research outcomes and technological innovations that have
served Africa and the world in general. #MakerereAt100

economic potential as the country healed from the economic crises.

@rggoobi: Mutebile helped this country to get rid of price control. It had resulted into emergency of black markets (magendo) involving hoarding of basic groceries and other essential commodities. Image
Mutebile kicked smuggling out Uganda. Due to economic mismanagement, the past governments were unable to collect enough tax revenue to finance government expenditures.
To deal with this challenge, the governments resorted to levying exorbitant import tariffs to raise revenue. Image
Thirdly, Mutebile helped Uganda to stop printing money to finance budget deficits. Bank of Uganda had been turned into a printing press for money. Consequently, inflation had galloped
into triple digits. Image

@rggoobi :From the anguish of losing our loved ones (a world total of 6.23million souls – and still counting; of whom 3,597 were Ugandans)to a disrupted recovery and higher inflation, the pandemic has plagued the human race at unprecedented scale. Image
At its peak the global economic growth declined to minus 3.1percent in 2020, from 2.9 percent in 2019. In Uganda’s case,economic activity was cut by more than half.The services sector was most affected, in particular education,transport, hospitality and entertainment activities. Image
@rggoobi :The size of the labor force declined with many workers moving from modern and semi-modern sectors into subsistence agriculture. The share of working persons in subsistence agriculture increased from 41% to 52% before and after the outbreak of the pandemic.
