KAMPALA - The Bank of Uganda (BoU) will expand its financial literacy campaign to schools, churches, financial institutions and communities across the country as it seeks to build a stronger saving culture and improve Ugandans' understanding of money management. Deputy Governor Prof. Augustus Nuwagaba said the initiative forms part of activities marking the central bank's 60th anniversary, aimed at equipping Ugandans of all ages with knowledge about saving, responsible financial management and the country's financial system. "We are going to engage schools, churches and other religious institutions. We shall also bring on board commercial banks, insurance companies, fintechs and mobile money institutions so that everyone participates in building a stronger economy."
