The US dollar

Once you have the US dollar, life will always be easy for you and as a matter of fact there is no forex bureau in Uganda without the US dollars. What might change across all the forex bureaus that you shall be visiting is the exchange rate, each forex bureau has its own exchange rate but the overall exchange rate does not differ so much from another. And due to economic times, you will find the dollar will either depreciate or appreciate against the Uganda currency. This is where some people make money, they buy the US dollar when it is depreciating against the Ugandan shillings and sell it when appreciates against the Uganda shillings. If you used that strategy like 6 years ago, right now you would be reaping a lot because the dollar has really appreciated against the Ugandan shilling.The Euro
