Uganda attracted the highest volume of investments from its regional peers in the East African Community (EAC) in 2023, highlighting Kampala’s increasingly pro-business policies that allow foreigners to own property, establish businesses, make investments, acquire domestic companies and establish Greenfield investments.

A new study by the EAC Secretariat shows that Uganda attracted the most intra-EAC investments in the year valued at $280.74 million, though representing a 28 percent decline from $391 million in 2022.
