Business Club Italia in Uganda

Business Club Italia in Uganda A bridge between the Italian and the Ugandan business communities. Un ponte tra le comunità imprenditoriali italiane e ugandesi.

With a population of over 34 million people, Uganda is located in the East African region and is one of the founding members of the East African Community. Uganda has substantial natural resources, including deposits of copper, gold, other minerals and recently discovered oil, is characterized by fertile soils and regular rainfall. Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy, employing

over 80% of the work force and coffee accounting for the bulk of export revenues. Other sectors include manufacturing, tourism, services and renewable energies. Since 1990 economic reforms ushered in an era of solid economic growth based on continued investment in infrastructure, improved incentives for production and exports, lower inflation, better domestic security, and the return of entrepreneurs exiled by the previous regime. Uganda's economic growth rate is currently placed at over 5% and projected to reach 7.2% over the next 5 years supported largely by the ongoing investment in infrastructure and the recent oil discoveries. Italy, on the other hand, is currently experiencing the consequences of the financial crisis and market saturation in most of its sectors, though remains a successful exporter of the “Made in Italy” brand, a guarantee of long-lasting quality. We believe the Italian companies looking for opportunities to expand would offer a valid contribution to the sustainable growth of Uganda’s market. It is on this basis that the BCI in Uganda has been established to act as the bridge between the Italian and the Ugandan business communities. Descrizione

Con una popolazione di oltre 34 milioni di abitanti, l’Uganda si trova nella regione dei Grandi Laghi, in Africa Orientale, ed è tra i membri fondatori della East African Community – EAC (Comunità dell’Africa Orientale). L’Uganda è ricca di materie prime, infatti sono stati rinvenuti giacimenti di rame, oro, minerali preziosi e recentemente di petrolio. Il paese sorge inoltre su un terreno molto fertile, caratterizzato da piogge costanti. L’agricoltura rappresenta di gran lunga il settore principale dell’economia ugandese, nel quale è impiegata più dell’80% della forza lavoro del paese. Dall’esportazione del caffè deriva la maggior parte dei ricavi del paese. Altri settori importanti e in forte sviluppo sono quello manifatturiero, del turismo, dei servizi e delle energie rinnovabili. Dal 1990 una serie di riforme in ambito economico hanno accompagnato un’era di costante crescita economica basata soprattutto su continui investimenti in infrastrutture, maggiori incentivi per la produzione e le conseguenti esportazioni, un’inflazione contenuta, il netto miglioramento nell’ambito della sicurezza e il ritorno degli imprenditori esiliati dal precedente regime. Il tasso di crescita economica dell’Uganda è al momento al 5% ma è previsto che raggiunga il 7.2% durante i prossimi 5 anni, sostenuto dagli investimenti in corso nel settore delle infrastrutture e dalle recenti scoperte di giacimenti petroliferi. L’Italia, d’altro canto, sta ancora accusando le conseguenze della crisi finanziaria e presenta un mercato saturo nella maggior parte dei suoi settori, rimanendo tuttavia un esportatore di successo del marchio “Made in Italy”, rinomata garanzia di qualità. Per questi motivi crediamo che le aziende italiane in cerca di opportunità per espandersi possano offrire un valido contributo alla crescita sostenibile dell’economia dell’Uganda. Su questi presupposti il Business Club Italia in Uganda è stato fondato per rappresentare il ponte tra Italia e Uganda.
