Uganda’s central bank secured UGX 1.3 tln (USD 339 mln) from a private placement Treasury bond auction, falling short of the UGX 1.5 tln target. This auction, the first of its kind since June 2022, offered bonds with maturities ranging from 2026 to 2043, attracting bids worth UGX 2.3 tln. Unlike regular auctions, this private placement selectively invited banks to participate.
