The Macro Pillar focuses on building a stable and predictable economic environment that attracts and retains both domestic and foreign investment. This includes ensuring macroeconomic stability, strengthening the legal and regulatory framework, and improving the ease of doing business. 

Uganda's fiscal, monetary, and trade policies are being aligned to promote a conducive environment for private investment, with specific attention to public financial management, public-private dialogue, and reduction of bureaucratic inefficiencies.

Efforts under this pillar target reforms in business licensing, taxation, and access to credit—key areas that influence investor perceptions. Improvements in the digitization of public services, such as the land registry and business registration systems, which reduce transaction times and costs for investors are prioritized.  Notably, initiatives like the National Backbone Infrastructure (NBI) and the Uganda Electronic Single Window are pivotal in cutting red tape and boosting service efficiency.

Government is committed to implementing the recommendations of the Business Licensing Reform Committee (BLRC), which seeks to streamline Uganda’s regulatory regime. Attention is also placed on stabilizing inflation, reducing domestic borrowing, and tackling domestic arrears to build fiscal discipline—key macro signals investors consider before committing capital.

Ultimately, this pillar serves as the foundation of investor confidence—removing uncertainty, enhancing transparency, and creating a level playing field for all economic actors.
