CMA Advances Real Estate Investment Trusts Through Stakeholder Engagement

The Capital Markets Authority convened a high-level stakeholder meeting on April 21, 2026, to discuss the development of Real Estate Investment Trusts and the regulatory frameworks supporting them in Uganda. CEO Josephine Okui Ossiya and other officials highlighted the transformative potential of REITs in expanding capital access, enhancing transparency, and mobilizing long-term financing for housing and infrastructure projects. Participants emphasized that successful REITs must be tailored to Uganda's unique market environment with strong commercial viability rather than simply duplicating foreign models.
