September 2025 Bank of Uganda Treasury Bond Auction – What You Should Know

The Bank of Uganda has announced its next treasury bond auction, scheduled for Wednesday, September 3, 2025. If you’re planning to invest, this is your opportunity to lock in returns with long-term government-backed securities.

Here’s what you need to know.

What Bonds Are Being Offered?

In this auction, three bonds are being reopened — meaning they were originally issued earlier, but are being sold again to raise additional funds.

The following bonds will be available:

UG12G0607287 – 15.550% 3-Year Bond maturing 06-Jul-2028
UG12K0811352 – 16.250% 10-Year Bond maturing 08-Nov-2035
UG12L1806433 – 15.000% 20-Year Bond maturing 18-Jun-2043

These bonds come with different timelines and interest rates (also called coupon rates), so you can choose based on your investment goals.

Key Auction Dates

Auction Date: Wednesday, September 3, 2025
Settlement Date: Thursday, September 4, 2025
Deadline to Invest via Level Africa: Tuesday, September 2, 2025 at 5:00 PM

If you’re participating through Level Africa, be sure to complete your investment before the deadline.

How Much Is Being Raised?

The government aims to raise:

UGX 230 billion from the 3-Year bond
UGX 330 billion from the 10-Year bond
UGX 430 billion from the 20-Year bond

This is a significant offer and a clear sign of strong investor interest in long-term government-backed assets.

What Kind of Returns Can You Expect?

Each bond has a fixed interest rate — called a coupon — which is paid to you every 6 months. Here’s how it works:

Example: 3-Year Bond at 15.550%

If you invest UGX 1,000,000
You’ll earn UGX 155,500 per year in interest (split into two payments of UGX 77,750 every 6 months)
After 3 years, you’ll have received UGX 466,500 in total interest
You also get back your original UGX 1,000,000

This is why bonds are considered one of the safest and most predictable investments in Uganda today.
