Over 3.5 trillion shillings earmarked for private sector growth in 2025-26 budget
In an effort to prudently realign private sector priorities with the country's growth strategy, the national budget for the Financial Year 2025/2026 has earmarked over 3.5 trillion shillings for private sector development and trade facilitation.
This signals a pivotal shift toward enterprise-led growth, particularly benefiting startups, exporters, and agribusinesses aiming to scale up.
The American Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the business-friendly tone in the budget, calling it a “step in the right direction” for investors seeking predictability, as Betty Ndagire reports.
