I take this opportunity to thank all our partners, the members of UBA and all our stake- holders for efforts rendered in organizing and making this conference a success. The context for our 2018 theme arises from trends in the recent past, where the banking & overall financial sector has witnessed a number of developments emanat- Iing from both domestic and external factors. Externally, there is growing uncertainty arising from the shifting geopolitical agenda, skewed towards protectionism, creating an unpredictable environment for players in the financial sector who provide the much-needed financing for cross border opera- tions of multinational companies. In addition, technological innovations have aided the creation of new digital platforms that present new opportunities, enable reach to previously unserved market segments, widen choices and are available 24/7, but equally present risks that exist in the ICT space. Financial Institutions are increasingly depending on ICT for critical aspects of their operations and risks in ICT therefore mean risks to the stability of the financial sector. Managing Risk positive developments including the in A Growing & amendment of the Financial Institutions Act 2004 and other related legislation Fast Changing have strengthened risk management Environment, and provided the environment for the introduction of new products is very relevant and services while increasing reach & to industry penetration of financial services.

The theme this year “FINANCIAL SECTOR STABILITY: Managing Risk in a Growing & Fast Changing Environment” is at the core of UBA’s mandate Iof fostering the growth of a strong, vibrant & respected financial services industry in Uganda. The Annual Bankers Conference (ABC) now an annual UBA event, seeks to bring together regulators, practitioners & various industry experts from international, regional and national spheres involved in facilitating and delivering financial and banking services, to discuss issues, trends, drivers and the dynamics that are increasingly shaping sustainability strategies in banking, finance & the overall development eco system.

  • Has the Privatization of Uganda Commercial Bank Increased Competition and Extended Outreach of Formal Banking in Uganda?” Abstract
    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS Uppsala University Bachelor’s Thesis Authors: Oscar Karlsson & Erik Malmgren Supervisor: Ranjula Bali Swain Spring 2008 “Has the Privatization of Uganda Commercial Bank Increased Competition and Extended Outreach of Formal Banking in Uganda?” Abstract: Financial sector development can reduce poverty and promote economic growth by extending access to financial services in developing countries. Traditionally, banking in Sub-Saharan Africa has been conducted by state-owned banks. Although, evidence has shown that severe government involvement in the banking sector has proved to cause low profitability and inefficiency. During 2001, Uganda Commercial Bank, the dominant provider of banking experienced financial problems; as a result, the government had to privatize the bank. The aim of this thesis is therefore to investigate if the privatization prevented the banking sector from collapse and if it made the sector more competitive and outreaching. The main conclusion is that the privatization strongly prevented the banking sector from collapse. Since privatization, competition has increased sufficiently in urban areas of Uganda while rural areas have not experienced any significant increase in competition. Finally, we conclude that the outreach of banking has increased somewhat since the privatization, but it is still relatively poor. Key Words: Sub-Saharan Africa, Uganda, Financial Development, Financial Structure, Access to Finance, Banking, Bank Competition, Bank Privatization, Outreach of Banking 2 Abbreviations Mentioned
