Takeaways by Bloomberg AI

Uganda is running out of options to defend its currency, forcing policymakers to draw down on already thin buffers.

As of Friday’s close, the shilling was the world’s second-worst-performing currency against the dollar this month, trailing only Iraq’s dinar, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It has lost more than 11% over the period, weakening to 4,419.95 per dollar.
