What moves the USD to UGX rate

The USD/UGX rate is driven by Uganda’s central bank policy, inflation, coffee and commodity export prices, remittance inflows, and broad US dollar strength. Like any exchange rate, it shifts continuously during the trading week and settles over weekends — so the figure you see today may differ tomorrow.
