Economists have expressed fear that the latest Shs1.7 trillion loan recently approved by parliament will increase Uganda’s public debt portfolio from Shs79 trillion to Shs80.7 billion.

Parliament last week approved a commercial loan of Shs1.7 trillion that government will get from foreign lenders; Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI), a Japanese insurance firm, and the Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit (ICIEC) brokered through Standard Chartered Bank.
