Uganda GDP

2025 GDP AND ESTIMATES FOR 2026 & 2030 IN GDP PPP

World Economics estimates Uganda's 2025 GDP at $239 billion in PPP terms (Purchasing Power Parity) and an initial estimate of $252 billion for 2026. This figure is 55% higher than the official estimate published by the World Bank.

World Economics' methodology incorporates crucial factors often overlooked in official estimates, such as:

  • The size of the informal economy: It is estimated that 33% of Uganda's economic activity occurs outside the formal sector.
  • Outdated GDP base year data: Many countries use outdated base years for their GDP calculations, leading to an underestimation of economic growth. Uganda uses a 9 year old GDP base year.

By adjusting for these factors where required, World Economics provides a more accurate picture of Uganda's true economic size and potential.

For reference, offical data reported Uganda's GDP as $49 billion in 2015 constant prices and $52 billion in current prices for 2024.
