Minister for Finance Matia Kasaija who was the Chief guest during the launch noted that the country’s economy will be growing at a rate of 7% in the next financial year, up from the current 6%.

The minister noted that if it was not for the COVID-19 Pandemic that made some investors retract their investments, the country’s economy would be now growing at a rate of 8%.

"Although the economy is growing with some hitches at the Moment, it has been able to grow at a rate of 6% and he is optimistic that within the next financial year, it will grow at a rate of 7%," Kasaija said

The minister also asked the community to ensure that they engage in businesses that create jobs for the citizens and also pay taxes to the country.

He further urged stakeholders in financial institutions to design programs that will track and follow whether their customers put the borrowed money into the target investment.
