The Deputy Governor of the Bank of Uganda, Michael Atingi-Ego, admits that while there are interventions to stimulate the demand for loans to the private sector, growth has been slowing at a rate of 7.7% in the fiscal quarter to January 2024, down from 8.4% in October 2023. He adds that this could be a result of a government crowding-out effect in light of sourcing financing for initiatives such as Emyooga and the Parish Development Model, funds that would otherwise be accessed throughout the banking ecosystem. Sectors that have been affected as a result include manufacturing, business services, and personal loans in the three months to October 2023. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

More MPs of the National Resistance Movement have appended their signatures on a censure motion for the four backbench commissioners accused of awarding themselves a service award worth 1.7 billion shillings, despite a directive by the Government Chief Whip, Hamson Obua, that they should not participate in the activity in which the party has not taken a position.

President Yoweri Museveni has been asked to urgently address the issues of corruption, the tax system, and extravagant government expenditure. Dr. Fred Muhumuza, an economist, told NTV that as the government pursues the widening of its tax base, many businesses have been forced to downsize while others have been closed. Other economic experts argue that the president should also address the issue of electoral reforms as the country nears the 2026 general election. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

Governance experts say the address on corruption by President Museveni at Thursday's State of the Nation Address will likely be a repetition of rhetoric. They say the effect of any new strategies the president might unveil in his address will have an unseen effect comparable to the march he led in Kampala against corruption in 2019. They caution that the indecisiveness by the government against corruption risks lowering the rate of direct foreign investments and further crippling the economy through sanctions. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda
