Uganda's Shilling is now the world's most stable currency, according to a top government official.
Ramadhan Ggoobi, the Permanent Secretary to the Treasury, made the announcement. He stated the Shilling has outperformed major global currencies like the UK Pound Sterling and the Hong Kong Dollar.
Currency stability measures how little a currency's value changes against others over time. A stable currency helps control import costs and supports economic planning.
Ggoobi's declaration highlights an unexpected strength in Uganda's economy. The performance places the East African nation's currency above traditionally strong global counterparts.
The Ministry of Finance has not yet released detailed data supporting the ranking. Further analysis from international financial institutions is awaited.
