1. Preamble Institutions registered under the Financial Institutions Act (FIA), 2004 as amended and the Micro-Finance Deposit Taking Institutions (MDI) Act 2003 are required to report to the Central Bank data or information that the Bank may deem necessary for carrying out its responsibilities as spelt out in the two Acts. The Central Bank designs, and amends as necessary, forms/returns that are used to collect information from the institutions. With the assistance of the Supervision Directorate, Commercial Banking Department, Bank of Uganda; Deposit protection Fund of Uganda (DPF) designed a statutory return template CBQ_QDQD001 to be filled in by all contributing institutions (CIs) to facilitate deposit monitoring of obligations under the Deposit Protection Fund.
2. Current template The template CBQ_QDQD001 collects information on liabilities (deposits) broken down by deposit type i.e., savings, demand/call and Fixed, then each deposit type broken into outstanding balance ranges in local currency and detailed institutional sectors, number of accounts and percentages.
3. New additional requirement On the same template CBQ_QDQD001, a new tab “FcY Balances” has been added to also be populated by contributing institutions. It will collect information on liabilities (deposits) of required foreign currency’s outstanding deposit balances reported in local currency. The template is expected to maintain emphasis on having the reports manageable for the compilers and consistency across reporting institutions. In cases where further assistance or clarification is required in completing template CBQ_QDQD001, one may contact telephone numbers 0312 206 400 or 256 312 206419.
