@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.
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.
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.
@rggoobi :From the anguish of losing our loved ones (a world total of 6.23million souls β 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.
At its peak the global economic growth declined to minus 3.1percent in 2020, from 2.9 percent in 2019. In Ugandaβs case,economic activity was cut by more than half.The services sector was most affected, in particular education,transport, hospitality and entertainment activities.
@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.
The President of the Republic of
Mozambique His Excellency Filipe Jacinto Nyusi has called upon the
people of Nakaseke to make good use of Kapeeka Industrial Park to
empower themselves and develop their country.
H.E Filipe:One advantage is that this land which was in the past the birth of
liberation is now the birth of development, so it's important to say
that we will empower our people for development.
This is a place
where employment is generated and by doing so, we can empower
ourselves and develop," President Filipe said.
