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.

What These Results Tell Us

Strong demand. The total bids received across the three bonds crossed UGX 1.3 trillion. That’s more than the government offered — a sign that investors see bonds as safe and profitable.
The 2-year bond at 15.75% offers a quick return and is great for conservative investors or those saving for near-term goals.
The 5-year bond, paying 16.50%, is ideal for medium-term goals like land purchases, school fees, or business capital.
The 15-year bond, with a 17.00% return, is perfect for long-term financial plans like retirement, wealth transfer, or generational savings.

Example: How Much Could You Earn?

Let’s say you invest UGX 1,000,000 in the 5-year bond:

You’d earn UGX 165,000 every year, paid every 6 months
Over 5 years, that’s UGX 825,000 in total interest
You’ll still get back your UGX 1,000,000 at the end of 5 years

It’s a predictable and stable way to grow your money.
