Uganda January export earnings jump more than 77% on-year
Uganda’s merchandise exports soared 77.6% in January from a year ago, hitting $1.5 billion compared to $844.6 million last year, the finance ministry reported. The growth was driven by strong sales of gold, coffee, industrial products, oil re-exports, beans, and electricity.
