Inflation analysis
Inflation in Uganda
This page covers 34 years of Uganda consumer price data, from 1993 to 2026. Series that begin this late usually do so because the country, the currency or the statistical agency behind the index did not exist in its current form before then. The steepest single year on record was 2011, when consumer prices in Uganda rose 16.6%.
Prices fell in 1 of those 33 years, including in recent decades — about 3% of the time — most sharply in 2002, when they dropped 0.3%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 2000s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 6.4% a year, while the 2020s were the calmest at 4.1%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 4.0% a year, below the 5.9% average across the whole record.
