It does not thrive in isolation but only when all parts of the economy, from production to policy, work in perfect unison,\u201d said Prof. Niwagaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that this positive trajectory is further reinforced by the central bank&#8217;s prudent monetary policies, which have maintained relative interest rate stability and controlled inflation to build a foundation for broader economic stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Christmas service at St. James Church of Uganda, Kijuguta, presided over by Rev. Akatuhurira Golden, was also attended by Kabale Municipality MP and NRM flag bearer, Hon. Andrew Aja Baryayanga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his remarks, Baryayanga expressed optimism for the next five-year term, predicting accelerated municipal development based on the trust placed in him by his constituents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uganda\u2019s potent mix of rising export revenues, strong investments, steady monetary policies, and resilient foreign inflows is creating the conditions for sustainable growth and a stronger, more stable national currency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KABALE, UGANDA &#8211; The Deputy Governor of the Bank of Uganda, Prof. Augustus Niwagaba,
