The Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Henry Musasizi, says the government is positioning Uganda to host the East African Statistics Bureau as part of efforts to strengthen regional integration, enhance statistical coordination, and cement the country’s position as a regional leader in official statistics. Musasizi made the remarks while officiating at the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) office block, a government-funded project expected to serve as the proposed home of the East African Statistics Bureau if Uganda’s bid succeeds.
