Today @CSBAGUGANDA has joined @ACODE_Uganda and @MUBS_EconForum on a dialogue concerning the US-Iran conflict at Protea Hotel- Kololo. The CSBAG Uganda ED @JuliusMukunda in his address notes that the ongoing US–Iran conflict is both a crisis and a wake-up call for Uganda. Rising fuel prices now around $110 per barrel are already driving up transport and production costs, exposing how dependent the Ugandan economy is on external supply chains. Trade disruptions, especially through the Middle East, threaten Ugandan businesses dealing in perishable goods like poultry and meat, where delays can mean losses, shortages, and rising prices for consumers. #usirantensions

At the same time, the pressure on Uganda’s finances is intensifying. With public debt now at approximately UGX 131 trillion, the challenge is clear revenue is collected in shillings, yet fuel imports and debt servicing require foreign currency. As global uncertainty grows, more shillings will be needed to meet the same obligations, tightening fiscal space and increasing vulnerability. This raises urgent questions about how long Uganda’s foreign reserves can sustain essential imports under prolonged disruption. Yet within this crisis lies opportunity. Uganda can strengthen commercial diplomacy through its embassies to open new trade routes and partnerships, while also reducing its import bill by prioritizing local production even for basic goods like toothpicks. This moment demands a shift toward self-reliance, smarter reserve management, and long-term economic resilience. If acted upon decisively, this global shock could become a turning point for Uganda’s economic strategy. @ACODE_Uganda @MUBS_EconForum @CSBAGUGANDA #usirantensions

According to @JuliusMukunda Executive Director of @CSBAGUGANDA the closures are already affecting domestic consumption and employment. NGOs contribute significantly to domestic consumption. An international NGO could employ up to 100 people. At our organization, we had 41 employees 2 years ago, but that number has now dropped to 21. He urged government to take a measured approach, and identify the ones violating regulations and deal with them appropriately.
