Exciting Investment Opportunities on the Uganda Securities Exchange

-
The Uganda Securities Exchange is a relatively small and young market compared to say the Nairobi Stock Exchange. Inspite its small size and young age, the USE has distinguished itself by being among the top 3 performing exchanges in the whole of Africa for last three years.

The good regulation and management of the USE, the fact that Uganda has no capital restrictions and the excellent performance of most listed companies make the USE an ideal investment destination for Ugandans resident inside and outside the country as well as international investors looking for emerging market investment opportunities.

As 2006 comes to a close there is a lot of excitement about planned activities on the USE including:
* A planned share split by Uganda Clays likely to be announced at the end of October 2006
* The initial public offering of Stanbic Bank Uganda Ltd, due in November/December 2006.

Uganda: gifted but not competitive

-
By James Abola The person or people who came up with the slogan "Uganda, gifted by nature" could not have come up with a better phrase. How else could you describe a country that has oil deposits, is home to a variety of animals and plants - some so rare that they can only be viewed from Uganda? Then there natural gifts like Uganda being the source of the River Nile, the wonderful climate that spans most of the country, the fertile soils and many other attributes. The renowned author and speaker, Brian Tracy says that humans are by nature lazy, greedy, ambitious, selfish, ignorant and vain. It is testament to human nature that despite the incredible gifts that nature has bestowed upon the country, many Ugandans continue in an existence of deprivation characterised by illiteracy, hunger, sickness and insecurity. Abundance of natural resources or sound macroeconomic policies and stable political and legal institutions are not sufficient for a nation to become prosperous. A nati

From the teacher's heart by Joy Mirembe Abola

I have been working with young people in what we call “The Money Headstart” course for over 3 years. This was an endeavour that I took on quite reluctantly because sometime I really was not convinced there was much impact on the children. A number of incidents however made me change my mind and have seen me take this noble activity to another level. I met a mother who commented that whatever I had instilled in her daughter was incomparable and that even at high school her daughter was not the same person. She was not only responsible but very industrious with regard to money. Then I met a father whose twins had only been in my care for a few weeks. He told me his boy and girl now put him to task to be more accountable for the family resources something he found very useful though challenging at the same time. The cream on the cake was when I observed my 5year old boy hanging onto every word his dear teacher said. At that point I realized that as the adult and mentor for these young
