By the Governor of the Bank of Uganda, at the Launch of the Eighth Edition of the World Bank\’s Uganda Economic Update \”Step by Step – Let\’s Solve the Finance Puzzle to Accelerate Growth and Shared Prosperity\”, Kampala, 7 February 2017.

I would like to begin by commending the World Bank for publishing the eighth edition in the series of Uganda Economic Updates, which over the last few years, have provided a valuable source of economic analysis for everyone with an interest in the Ugandan economy.

I would also like to thank the presenters, discussants and other contributors for all of the important insights they have given us this morning.
