| Summary: | A joint International Monetary
Fund-World Bank team conducted an assessment update of
Uganda's financial system in connection with the
Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) in November,
2004. The purpose of the mission was to help the Ugandan
authorities identify financial system strengths and
weaknesses with a view to implementing an action plan to
increase the system's contribution to economic
development. This report is an overall assessment of
progress since 2001 of the FSAP and policy agenda. It
examines the efficiency and outreach of the financial system
and finds: a) a healthy but underdeveloped financial system;
and b) improving financial system efficiency and outreach.
The second part assesses the promotion of term financing and
developing capital markets in the areas of: pensions, term
financing, the Uganda Development Bank, the Uganda stock
exchange, housing finance, and domestic government debt
markets. The third part focuses on financial sector
supervision, including safety net and crisis management. |
