Bankers Journal - March - May 2019

في هذا العدد

We are already into the third month of 2019 and as it is said often, time waits for no man. The puzzles to solve this year include technology, the global economy, politics – especially the early start of the 2021 election campaigns, cybersecurity, taxation, and fiscal policy, blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, and the new skills required to navigate these topics.

In this issue, we made a deliberate attempt to bring you the latest on each of the topics in question; more on these topics shall be discussed as the year unfolds. In this edition, we follow up on Crane Bank v Bank of Uganda coverage with interesting takes on the recent COSASE report and how it may be a Trojan horse for a new co-regulator of the sector.

Financial technology firms NUMIDA and Pesamoney are doing something new to increase access to formal financial services, read about that in this issue. We also explore why the mortgage industry is performing below par. Feel free to send your feedback, we
always enjoy reading your thoughts.
