This growth has been spurred by the manufacturing sector. Therefore, the current double digit inflation can be managed if people can produce food items which can be brought onto the market because the inflation is not driven by the service bit,\u201d Ms Aliziki said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout this statistics week, we are undertaking various surveys such as the agricultural survey, the Uganda business inquiry and the international survey in trade statistics,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The statistics week, which started yesterday, shall reach the climax on November 18 with the unveiling of the statistics findings from the ongoing annual agricultural survey.<\/p>\n<p>The Director of Digital Solutions and Data Capability at Ubos, Mr James Kizza, said the statistics week will also give a platform to showcase how technology can be used to collect and produce statistics more efficiently compared to the manual systems.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Godfrey Nabongo, the Ubos\u2019s deputy director, said the statistics week will enable the bureau to close all the data gaps and provide the needed statistics to inform the public and other development partners about the performance of different sectors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe role of the bureau is to ensure that we produce any statistical information that may be needed in the decision-making in all sectors,\u201d Mr Nabongo said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
