Uganda's inflation hits 3.6% in January 2025
Uganda's inflation increased to 3.6% in January 2025, up from 3.3% in December 2023, primarily driven by a rise in core inflation, according to the latest data from the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS). Inflation, which tracks changes in the price of goods and services, reveals significant price hikes in items like smoked tilapia, new clothing, sugar, laundry soap, and second-hand vehicles. For consumers, this means digging a bit deeper into their pockets to afford everyday purchases.
