Expensive capital in logistics

Introduce tax incentives for logistics fleet modernisation

Not started
Medium priority
Status confirmed 11 August 2026

Agreed, but implementation has not begun.

Why this reform was agreed

High financing costs for fleets, warehouses and equipment limit modernisation. There is a lack of tailored bank products for logistics, and UDB is not sufficiently capitalised to meet the high capital investment the sector requires.

Ongoing and planned interventions

The Private Sector Development Programme under NDP IV focuses on lowering financing costs by capitalising and strengthening UDB and UDC, which provide low-interest loans and invest in strategic sectors. Government earmarked UGX 1 trillion in extra funding to UDB in FY 2025/26.
