Finance Minister Musasizi unveils Capital Markets Authority blueprint to boost investment

KAMPALA, UGANDA — State Minister for General Duties Henry Musasizi on Tuesday launched the Capital Markets Authority’s strategic plan for 2025/26-2029/30, stating that robust and well-regulated capital markets are essential for attracting both domestic and international investment.

Musasizi, speaking at the event, said the new plan provides a clear and forward-looking blueprint to achieve this goal, with a vision of creating “an innovative, efficient and trusted regulator of a regionally competitive capital market.”

“This event marks an important milestone in Uganda’s journey to build a strong, resilient and inclusive financial system that can support our ambitious development agenda,” Musasizi said.

He emphasized that Uganda’s Tenfold Growth Strategy requires a significant mobilization of long-term capital, noting that public resources alone are insufficient to finance key sectors. He stressed the need to harness the full potential of private capital.

Josephine Okuyi Ossiya, CEO of the Capital Markets Authority, described the plan as a “call to action” that places integrity and inclusivity at the heart of Uganda’s financial sector.

Saul Seremba, the chairperson of the CMA Board, said the plan strengthens the authority’s commitment to fostering a fair, transparent and efficient market capable of contributing to the country’s Tenfold Growth Strategy.
