In a major fiscal development, the government of Uganda has officially announced its ambitious expectations regarding the national treasury, projecting that domestic revenue collections will climb to a substantial Shs45.6 trillion during the upcoming 2026/27 financial year. This forecasted figure represents a notable and strategic increase from the Shs35.7 trillion that was successfully collected throughout the preceding 2025/26 financial period. These updated financial projections underscore the ongoing and dedicated efforts by the state to enhance its internal economic capacity. By pursuing these higher collection targets, Uganda aims to solidify its long-term objective of financing a significantly larger and more sustainable share of the national budget through locally generated resources rather than relying on external assistance.
