The Capital Markets Authority (CMA) of Uganda has implemented regulatory amendments and launched digital platforms to enhance market efficiency and retail investor access. These measures include the 'Easy Portal' for real-time trading and ALTX East Africa's depository receipts, which lower entry barriers for government securities. Supported by a new ten-year Master Plan and IOSCO MMoU signatory status, these initiatives aim to reduce reliance on bank financing and support Uganda's Vision 2040 economic growth targets.
