ABSTRACT

Aggregate demand (AD) is a critical concept in macroeconomics, reflecting the total quantity of goods and services demanded in an economy at a given time and price level. This study explores the components of aggregate demand and their interactions in the context of Ugandan companies. It highlights the significance of studying aggregate demand for economic planning, business strategy, investment attraction, economic stability, employment, income distribution, and global competitiveness in Uganda. The theoretical framework elucidates the definition and components of aggregate demand, factors influencing it, and its relevance in macroeconomic analysis. The economic context of Uganda, including key sectors, historical trends, challenges, and opportunities, sets the stage for understanding aggregate demand dynamics. Detailed analyses of consumption expenditure, investment expenditure, government spending, and net exports provide insights into their patterns, trends, and impacts on aggregate demand. The study also examines interactions between components of aggregate demand and presents case studies of Ugandan companies across various sectors. Policy implications and recommendations are discussed, focusing on measures to enhance aggregate demand, improve investment climate and consumer confidence, optimize government spending, and enhance net exports. The conclusion summarizes key findings, and implications for Ugandan companies and policymakers, and suggests future research directions.

Keywords: Aggregate demand, Ugandan companies, economic growth, policy formulation, consumption expenditure, investment expenditure.
