NCBA Bank Uganda, through its Global Markets Division, reaffirmed its commitment to advancing Uganda’s financial markets during the ACI Financial Markets Authority (FMA) Uganda Dealers’ Meeting held in Kampala.
The meeting brought together treasury dealers, financial market practitioners, regulators, and other key stakeholders from Uganda’s banking and financial services sector to discuss the evolving role of financial markets in supporting the country’s economic transformation agenda and Tenfold Growth Strategy.
Organized by ACI Uganda—the professional body representing certified treasury dealers—the forum served as a platform for industry dialogue, knowledge sharing, and thought leadership on market development, innovation, and professional excellence.
The session was moderated by Francis Kiyemba, Head of Global Markets at NCBA Bank Uganda, who led discussions on strengthening market collaboration, enhancing liquidity, and promoting ethical standards across the financial ecosystem.
Speaking during the engagement, Kiyemba emphasized the critical role financial market participants play in fostering economic stability and growth.
“As market participants, our role goes beyond trading—we are stewards of trust, liquidity, and stability within the financial system. Platforms such as the ACI Uganda Dealers’ Meeting are essential for aligning stakeholders, strengthening professional standards, and driving sustainable market development,” he said.
The meeting featured presentations by George Ochom, a retired banker, and Samuel Odeke, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Access Financial Services. Their insights sparked engaging discussions on emerging market trends, innovation, risk management, and the adoption of global best practices within Uganda’s financial sector.
Participants underscored the importance of continuous professional development, knowledge exchange, and collaboration in strengthening market resilience, deepening liquidity, enhancing investor confidence, and supporting long-term economic growth.
ACI Uganda, an affiliate of the global ACI Financial Markets Association (ACIFMA) and recognized by the Bank of Uganda, continues to play a pivotal role in promoting ethical conduct, professional certification, and the development of Uganda’s financial markets.
NCBA Bank Uganda’s participation reflects the Bank’s ongoing commitment to supporting initiatives that foster transparency, innovation, and the growth of efficient, resilient, and inclusive financial markets that contribute to Uganda’s national development agenda.
