Monthly Economic Report of MoFPEE shows depreciation of the shilling has slowed down. x.com/mofpedU/status…
Ministry of Finance@mofpedU

According to the Performance of the economy monthly report for March 2024,the Ugandan shilling traded at an average mid-rate of Shs 3,895.8/USD in March 2024 from Shs 3,873.6/USD in February 2024,and thus a depreciation of 0.6%. This is a slowdown from the depreciation of 1.8% that was registered from February 2024,implying that the temporary shock the shilling experienced between January 2024 and February 2024 due to some portifolio investors opting to exit the Ugandan market for Kenya where the yields were higher has started to abate. In the external sector,Uganda's export earnings during February 2024 increased by 12.0% to USD 633.00 million from USD 565.40 million in January,2024. This increase was mainly due to higher earnings from non-coffee formal exports such as gold,cotton,simsim,flowers & oil re-exports.

Bank of Uganda (BoU) has increased its interest rates for the second straight month from 10% to 10.25%. The highest point in 7 years. Particularly intended to arrest inflation and manage the depreciation of the shilling.

@MarkRuhindi In 2021, they were collecting on old rates for presumptive income tax and yet new rates had been passed by parliament. We sued!!

It appears this practice has taken hold. I know of another key income tax amending provision that was altered in the final print. What the President signed is different from what we have been presented as law. Quite concerning.

Mobile Money Tax- "We approved only 0.5%, but 1% was smuggled into the final Bill." OTT tax- "We didn't know its impact. We request MPs to be exempted." Diapers tax- "We're sorry." #Uganda Parliament should stop enacting taxes without comprehensive #tax impact assessments.

This means no new recruitments will be made across Government in FY 2023/24, except on a replacement basis, with evidence that positions to be filled have provisions in the budget FY 2023/24. Cant the Government make an exception for critical sectors like Health & Education??

While issuing Fiscal Policy Guidelines for FY2023/24. Ministry of Finance guided that salary enhancements be suspended for a year. Implementation of salary enhancements will only resume in FY 2024/25.

The decision to available funds to enable the deployment of the medical interns is good. But a sustainable solution is needed, includes enforcing Presidential directive that put allowance at UGX2.5m. It's like Government has learnt nothing and forgotten nothing #AskQuestionsUg

The directive by the President @KagutaMuseveni was clear that intern doctors shold earn 2.5M gross and a net of about 1.8M but again we thank @MinofHealthUG for coming out to #DeployMedicalInterns & hope @mofpedU will find the money required to pay interns & Senior House Officers

Thank you @MinofHealthUG, a big step in the right direction. @TheUMAofficial would still want to meet the fountain of honor @KagutaMuseveni to put many things in perspective. #abirdinhand

This is first good step, but more needs to be done. A more deliberate move to generally improve the welfare and wellbeing of medical interns, and other key health workers across the sector. The future of our health system and lives of Ugandans depends on this! #AskQuestionsUg

@MinofHealthUG Press release on deployment of Medical Interns. Government will deploy 1,901 Medical Interns at a net allowance of UGX 1 million. They are expected to report by 3rd August, 2023. @actionaiduganda What's your say?? @TheUMAofficial #AskQuestionsUg

We thank @MinofHealthUG for ensuring that Interns are finally deployed. Medical Interns are a strong pillar in the Health workforce. There’s need to ensure there’s continued flow and deployment of Medical interns upon completion of their Medical school studies.
