Uganda's regional peers
Browse all of Sub-Saharan Africa →Uganda holds #22 on the headline ranking, against 43 others we score in Sub-Saharan Africa. None of them reach a stronger band than Uganda; 18 sit in a weaker one. Their split: 25 in 50–65, 11 in 35–50, 7 in < 35. Ghana tops them at #39; Sudan closes them at #154. No neighbour here outranks Uganda; the nearest below is Ghana at #39. 11 of the 43 are monitored rather than ranked — the dashes below. Mid-table is where the ranking moves most: a couple of points reshuffles several places. Without a week-earlier reading there is no direction to set against the table yet. Same seven dimensions, same sources, same day.

Questions about the Uganda score
- What does a score of 61.3 mean for Uganda?
- 61.3/100, band 50–65: some of the discipline holds and some of it slips, which is what the middle looks like. That is 11.3 points above the 50 mid-point of the scale. Seven weighted dimensions produce the figure and no analyst adjusts it afterwards. Nothing in it is a forecast — it grades what Uganda's central bank has already done, said and delivered.
- How often is Uganda's score updated?
- Nightly, off that day's public releases; this page carries the 2026-09-08 run. There is no reading from seven days ago to set this one against. A 90-day trailing average damps single prints, so a weekly move past a couple of points is a real one. Tomorrow's run replaces the 2026-09-08 figure outright rather than revising it in place.
- What is the 50–65 credibility band?
- Five bands cut the scale — ≥ 80, 65–80, 50–65, 35–50, < 35 — and 50–65 is step 3. Uganda clears its 50 floor by 11.3 and stops 3.7 short of 65. The step above is 65–80 and the step below is 35–50. Bands grade monetary behaviour, not default risk, so none of this is a credit rating.
