Financial literacy must help people build confidence in their financial futures.
Delivering closing remarks at the launch of the 3rd Strategy for Financial Literacy in Uganda (2026–2031), held as part of the World Savings Day celebrations at Speke Resort Munyonyo, UBA Executive Director Wilbrod Owor called attention to the work still needed to strengthen financial confidence.
Reflecting on a finding shared during the proceedings that 60% of people lack confidence in their financial security, he urged participants to carry that message forward.
“If there’s anything else, take that up. Because there’s work that we have, a lot of work.”
He thanked the Ministry of Finance, Bank of Uganda, the International Labour Organization, the Uganda Institute of Banking and Financial Services, and fellow partners for their contributions. He also welcomed the depth of the panel discussions, noting the need to create more time for learning and exchange in future engagements.
His closing message reinforced the shared responsibility of financial sector stakeholders to translate financial education into greater confidence, better decisions and lasting financial wellbeing.
