Uganda’s telecom sector has recorded a significant milestone, with revenue reaching a record Shs1.73 trillion in the past year. The growth has been driven largely by an increase in data and mobile money services, which have become essential tools for communication and financial transactions in the country. The sector has experienced rapid expansion in recent years, with the number of mobile phone subscribers growing exponentially. The increase in data revenue is attributed to the growing demand for internet services, particularly among the youth, who are increasingly using social media and online platforms for communication and entertainment. Mobile money services have also become a crucial component of the sector, with many Ugandans relying on these services for financial transactions, including sending and receiving money. The record revenue is a testament to the sector’s potential for growth and development, and industry players are optimistic about the future prospects. The government has also taken notice of the sector’s growth, and is working to create a conducive environment for further expansion and investment.
