Currency of
Uganda
|
|
The first Ugandan shilling (UGS)
replaced the East African shilling in
1966 at par. Following high inflation, a new shilling (UGX) was introduced in
1987 worth 100 old shillings. The shilling is usually a stable currency and
predominates in most financial transactions in Uganda, which has a very
efficient foreign exchange market with low spreads. The United States dollar is also widely accepted.
The pound sterling and increasingly
the euro are also used.
