April 2025 Bank Of Uganda Treasury Bond Auction – Results & What It Means for You

On April 16, 2025, the Bank of Uganda reopened three government treasury bonds with maturities of 2 years, 5 years, and 15 years. Reopening means these bonds were issued before and are now available again to raise more funds.
The following bonds were reopened in this auction:
-
UG12G0907265 – 13.500% 2-Year Bond maturing 09-Jul-2026
-
UG0000001533 – 14.250% 5-Year Bond maturing 23-Aug-2029
-
UG12K2306393 – 15.800% 15-Year Bond maturing 23-Jun-2039
What Bonds Were Offered and at What Rates?
Bond Term | Maturity Date | Cut-off Yield (Interest Rate) | Amount Raised |
---|---|---|---|
2-Year | 09-Jul-2026 | 15.75% | UGX 288.90 billion |
5-Year | 23-Aug-2029 | 16.50% | UGX 364.11 billion |
15-Year | 23-Jun-2039 | 17.00% | UGX 644.17 billion |
Cut-off yield is simply the fixed interest rate investors will earn on these bonds. The longer the maturity, the higher the yield — which compensates you for tying up your money longer.
