22nd March 2022

All Chief Executive Officers of Commercial Banks, Credit Institutions and Microfinance Deposit-taking Institutions

Need to Ascertain Effective Implementation of Credit Relief Measures for the Education Services and Hospitality Sectors

Reference is made BOU Circular EDS.306.2 dated 1st November 2021, wherein Bank of Uganda (BOU) effectively extended targeted Credit Relief Measures for the Education Services and Hospitality Sectors in order to mitigate potential credit risk and support their recovery. This will expire on 30th September 2022.

The Government of Uganda (GOU), in partnership with the supervised financial institutions (SFIs), established the Covid-19 Small Business Recovery Fund (SBRF) which is administered by BOU on behalf of GOU. In order to enhance public awareness and utilization of the targeted CRM and SBRF programs, BOU embarked on sensitizing the public about the programs, through both print media and radio talk-shows across the country.

A team of seven (7) BOU officers named below shall engage with your staff at different branches during the period March – May 2022 aimed at ascertaining the effective implementation of the said programs:

Mr. Robert Mbabazize
Mr. Ibrahim Serwanja
Mr. Patrick Okettayot
Mrs. Sarah Mubuuke
Ms. Prossy Naamala
Ms. Yvonne Byanjeru
Ms. Nisa Ankunda

Please accord them the necessary assistance to enable them to accomplish the assigned task.

Yours faithfully,
