TFP:
TOTAL
FACTOR
PRODUCTIVITY
Sometimes, African workers are
productive enough to compete
in global markets, but some
non-worker inputs have such
low productivity that firms are
overall unproductive and
uncompetitive.
In this case, African firms have
access to strong worker
productivity, but suffer from
low total factor productivity.
Poor infrastructure, expensive
transportation, bureaucratic red
tape and lack of access to
credit can hurt TFP.

LANDLOCKED!

of Uganda’s trade is routed
through Kenya, with distant
access to the Indian Ocean.
Conflict with Kenya causing
closed borders is a threat.

FDI
Aside from new debt, the other prime source of financing for
the persistent current-account deficit is inflows of foreign
direct investment (FDI). Not only has Uganda’s IMFsponsored economic reform programme resulted in greater
donor assistance, but the resulting economic stability has
attracted significant levels of FDI. According to the most
recent data available from the UN Conference on Trade and
Development, Uganda received FDI inflows of US$357m in
2005, continuing the gradual increase of recent years.
