The Ministry of Finance revealed that the stock of Uganda’s public debt has now hit the UGX130 Trillion mark.
This followed an increment from US$34.21 billion (UGX128,648 Trillion) in September 2025 to US$34.86 billion (UGX130.844 Trillion) by the end of December 2025.
The details are contained in the Quarterly Debt Statistical Bulletin and Public Debt Portfolio Analysis for December 2025, that was published by the ministry.
“The total public debt stock increased to US$34.86Billion (UGX130.943 Trillion) by the end of December 2025, up from US$34.21 Billion (UGX128,648 Trillion) at the end of September 2025.
