Kampala, Uganda – The Bank of Uganda has issued guidelines to Ugandans on how to invest in Treasury Bills and Bonds, providing a lucrative opportunity for individuals to grow their wealth while supporting the country’s economic development.
According to the Bank of Uganda, Treasury Bills and Bonds are government securities that allow individuals to lend money to the government for a fixed period, earning interest on their investment.
To invest in Treasury Bills and Bonds, individuals can follow these simple steps:
- Open a bank account with a Commercial Bank licensed by the Bank of Uganda.
Request your bank to open a Central Securities Depository (CSD) account, also known as an ANKUTO account, which allows investors to buy and hold Treasury Bills and Bonds.
Access the Auction Calendar on the Bank of Uganda website or through your bank to find information on upcoming auctions and investment opportunities.
Ensure your bank account has funds equal to or above your desired investment.
Fill out a bid application form with the amount and period to invest. The minimum bid amount is UGX 100,000.
Submit your forms to your bank, which will forward them to the Bank of Uganda for evaluation.
Bids are evaluated, and if your bid is successful, your bank will transfer money from your bank account to your CSD account to pay for the investment.
At the end of the investment period, you will receive your principal and interest directly into your bank account.
