Abstract
The economy is recalibrating, and data from Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB) suggest the change is happening on multiple fronts. The URSB Annual Report 2024/25 shows a sharp rise in borrowing, explosive growth in creative sector registrations, a surge in copyright filings, and, at the same time, a slowdown in small business name registrations and foreign trademark applications.
The data tells a story of an economy that is becoming more formal and credit-driven, but also placing pressure on smaller enterprises.
