Uganda Reopens UGX 990 Billion Across The Curve: Auction Demand Sets Domestic Funding Signal
Uganda is offering UGX 990 billion across two-, five- and 15-year Treasury bonds. Auction demand, accepted prices and clearing yields will show whether domestic funding pressure is concentrated in near-term refinancing, the belly or the duration-heavy long end.

Desk brief
The Bank of Uganda scheduled reopenings of three Treasury bonds totalling UGX 990 billion for August 26, with settlement on August 27. The announced supply comprises UGX 230 billion of a two-year bond carrying a 15.25% coupon, UGX 330 billion of a five-year bond at 15.00%, and UGX 430 billion of a 15-year bond at 15.80%. The operation places short-, belly- and long-duration paper in the market simultaneously.
The auction results will provide a direct read on Uganda’s domestic funding cost and investor capacity across the curve. Demand and accepted prices in the two-year line will speak to near-term liquidity and refinancing conditions; the five-year reopening will show how investors price intermediate duration; and the larger 15-year allocation will test appetite for long-dated government risk. Clearing yields and bid reception therefore matter more than the coupons alone for assessing whether supply is absorbed through the curve or requires a higher refinancing premium.
The 15-year reopening carries the greatest duration sensitivity and could provide the clearest signal on long-end capacity, while the two-year bond is more closely tied to immediate rollover conditions. The five-year line links the two, making the combined operation useful for identifying curve steepening or flattening pressure within Uganda rather than treating the auction as a single funding event.
The next market evidence is the accepted-price distribution and clearing yields at settlement. Those outcomes will determine whether the reopening confirms existing domestic funding conditions or reveals differentiated pressure between Uganda’s short, belly and long maturities.
