Abstract
Due to the increasing importance of remittances to Uganda, efforts are underway by the Central Bank and Central Statistics Office in the country to improve the regulatory and monitoring of environment. A multifaceted approach is used. This includes the enactment of a new law and regulations, improving administrative reporting and carrying out surveys in the major remitting countries and in Uganda. However, these have issues of collecting complete, accurate and timely data. (original abstract)
