Uganda’s stock exchange is in the midst of a strong rally, with investors enjoying substantial gains. Key contributors include a drop in interest rates, which has made stocks more appealing compared to fixed-income options.
Banks and other listed firms are offering robust dividend yields, pulling in both local and foreign capital. This has led to heightened trading volumes and rising share prices across the board.
Retail investors, including everyday Ugandans, are increasingly joining the market, broadening participation and adding momentum to the uptrend.
Experts attribute the boom to improved economic conditions and confidence in listed companies’ fundamentals.
