Government bonds are a way to lend money to the Government of Uganda. In return, the government pays you a fixed interest rate every 6 months and gives back your full investment at the end of the bond’s term.

How do treasury bonds work in Uganda?

You buy a bond (e.g. 3, 5, or 10 years), the government pays you interest every 6 months, and you get your full capital back when the bond matures. All bonds are issued and regulated by the Bank of Uganda.

You can start investing with UGX 100,000 using a non-competitive bid. No broker is needed when using platforms like Level Africa.

What are the current treasury bond interest rates in Uganda (2025)?

Rates vary by bond type and auction results. For example:

2-Year bond: around 15.75%
10-Year bond: around 16.25%
20-Year bond: up to 18.50%
All rates are set during each auction by the Bank of Uganda.

Are treasury bonds safe in 2025?

Yes. Treasury bonds are backed by the Government of Uganda and are considered among the safest investments, especially for long-term or retirement goals.

Do government bonds pay interest?

Yes. Interest is called a coupon and is paid out every 6 months. You receive it directly to your wallet or bank account.

Can I sell a bond before it matures?

Yes, bonds are transferable and can be rediscounted if you need to exit early, although the resale price depends on current market rates.

How do interest rates affect bonds?

If new bond rates go up, the value of existing bonds on the market may go down (and vice versa). However, if you hold your bond until maturity, you still get your full investment and all promised interest.

What’s the difference between treasury bonds and treasury bills?

Treasury bonds: Long-term (2–25 years), pay interest every 6 months
Treasury bills: Short-term (91–364 days), sold at a discount and paid back in full at maturity

Can individuals buy Bank of Uganda treasury bonds?

Yes. Both individuals and institutions can invest. Many Ugandans now use Level Africa to access bonds directly with no paperwork.

How often are treasury bonds auctioned in Uganda?

Typically, every 28 days. The auction calendar is published annually by the Bank of Uganda, and Level Africa notifies you ahead of each sale.
