Over the weekend, @CMAUganda brought capital markets education closer to farming communities, highlighting how saving, investing and accessing appropriate financing can contribute to individual prosperity and agricultural development. This happened during the ‘Seeds of Gold’ radio talkshow and farm clinic held in Fort Portal on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th October, respectively, in partnership with Nation Media Group (@ntvuganda ) and the National Agricultural Research Organisation (@narouganda) Our Director Research & Market Development, Dickson Ssembuya engaged participants on how they can put their savings to work through regulated investment options such as Collective Investment Schemes (unit trusts) and Government securities. Farmers and agribusiness owners also learnt about opportunities to access financing through capital markets, including private equity and venture capital, which can support business growth and expansion. The engagement brought together farmers from the Tooro and Rwenzori sub-regions, alongside students pursuing agricultural studies, to explore practical ways of improving agricultural productivity, growing agribusinesses and increasing household incomes. This is one of the many ways CMA continues to advance its mandate of promoting investor education, expanding participation in Uganda’s capital markets and connecting more Ugandans to investment opportunities as we mark 30 years of regulating, protecting and growing Uganda’s capital markets.

🇺🇬Uganda’s development ambitions under the National Development Plan (NDP) IV and the Government’s Ten-Fold Growth Strategy require substantial long-term capital. The scale of financing needed to industrialize the economy, support infrastructure development, strengthen agriculture, expand SMEs, and create jobs for our growing population cannot be achieved through traditional financing channels alone. Capital markets must play a much bigger role in mobilising domestic savings and channeling them into productive investment in the real economy. 🎙️@CmaUganda CEO, Josephine Okui Ossiya, joins an expert panel for a webinar on “Mobilising Resources at Scale to Finance Uganda’s Ten-Fold Growth Ambition: From Conventional to Market-Based Instruments.” The discussion will unpack key insights from @UDB_Official’s latest policy paper and explore how Uganda can unlock domestic savings, expand capital markets, strengthen development finance and mobilise private investment to accelerate the country’s economic transformation.
