Bankers Journal Magazine - November 2019 - January 2020

In this issue

Time flies when you are having a good time. As we end the year, it is time to close with one final, major win. That win could come from starting a Christmas account. These accounts have been common in the US for a very long time but are scarce in Uganda.
Christmas accounts could just be what the doctor ordered to deal with the dry months of January and February when school fees start to pinch. There have been several movements at the top of certain banks such as Barclays, Tropical and Post Bank; we bring you those details.

In this issue also is a key interview with Emma Mugisha, Stanbic Bank Uganda’s Head of Corporate and Investment (CIB). CIB is one of the key engines behind Stanbic banks dominance. She shares some important insights into the world of corporate banking.

Also, Uganda’s potential in agriculture has been sung about for a long time now but sadly, not enough empirical information is on hand to exploit this potential. We feature some articles on agriculture and an interview with the Uganda Bankers Association (UBA) top boss to investigate the matter. We also bring you key insights into cryptocurrency and other key sector developments.
Enjoy.
