Uganda won a gold medal during the 12th edition of the Global Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) 2023, in recognition of the country’s ability to attract Foreign Direct Investment. The event was held in May 2023 and attracted 170 participating countries under the theme “The Investment Paradigm Shift: Future Investment Opportunities to Foster Sustainable Economic Growth, Diversity and Prosperity.” This was due to relentless efforts in encouraging continuity of trade and manufacturing amidst the turbulent time of the Covid pandemic. Rwanda was runner-up. The Uganda Investment Authority (UIA) was also recognised as the best investment promotion agency in the region.
