III 2018 Annual Report FOREWORD FROM THE MINISTER OF FINANCE, PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT n accord with good corporate practices, the Uganda Development Bank Ltd (UDB) produces annual reports in order to facilitate stakeholders and the general public in gaining a deeper Iunderstanding of the Bank, its operations and performance. As such, I am most pleased to share this very 2018 UDB Annual Report. The Report clearly shows significant improvement in the allocation of the Bank’s credit and corresponding investments in the country’s priority sectors as articulated in the National Development Plan (NDP II). It is my belief that the support to these priority sectors will compliment other measures the Government of Uganda is taking to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life in our country. In providing credit, the Bank is also always mindful of the country’s environmental sustainability concerns. While UDB’s financial interventions in the priority sectors is helping to improve the lives of many Ugandans, additional development finance is needed. For that matter, Government has firmly committed to support UDB in its drive to support Government poverty reduction efforts, promote inclusive growth and develop a local entrepreneurial capacity. In doing so, we will fully capitalize the bank and assist it in assessing development finance lines of credit from other development agencies as we have previously done. Fortunately, its current management is doing a good job as evidenced by the Bank’s performance indicators over the last few years. In this regard, I wish to remind both the Board and Management that the Bank must provide the financial support it does with innovative solutions to better respond to the diverse and sometimes specific needs and challenges of the private sector. It must embrace and continue to uphold best governance practices and preserve the Shareholders’ value and stakeholder confidence in the Bank. As Shareholder and Minister responsible for UDB, I stand ready to do all that is necessary to avoid the pitfalls of its past and all that is necessary for its successes. It is my sincere hope that stakeholders and the general public will find this report useful; and that the information therein will ultimately result in the enhancement of their partnerships with UDB. Finally, I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to the Board for its stewardship and Management and Staff for the improved performance for the year; and not least for joining hands in the preparation of this report. They have demonstrated a real and stalwart partnership in achieving good results and enhancing the visibility of the Bank.
