ON Uganda

In May, Government launched a new industrial policy which is expected to spur industrial development and economic transformation.

Our quest for industrialisation is highlighted in Vision 2040 and the third National Development Plan (NDP III), which are Uganda’s medium and longer-term plans that prioritise industrialization as a key driver for Uganda’s prosperity. Uganda has only just begun to tap into the industrial policy toolbox of instruments that developed countries have employed in transforming their economies.

Uganda is a much less developed financial economy that does not officially recognize cryptocurrencies as a form of currency, but it also does not expressly prohibit them in the Ugandan market as digital assets.

(Our audio was compromised but the gold is in the CONTENT)

In this episode, Noah Baalessanvu, an Executive Strategist at CryptoSavannah starts us off with an understanding of cryptocurrencies, their economics, assets, wallets, funds and how relevant these are in the financial services sector in fueling the wheels of our economy. He shares his thoughts on;

- What's happening in the ecosystem.

- What cryptocurrency is, it's characteristics.

- How important it is for money to be transparent.

- How ready Uganda is for Crypto.

- The opportunities.

- Essentials for interested parties.

- Dangers of not regulating the industry.

- Misconceptions around crypto.

- and GOLD; what it will take to achieve a middle class status.
