An integrated credit reference bureau may be? How about data protection?
What about long term financing that favors long term projects?

At the 25th EAC Heads of State Summit in Arusha, Partner States renewed their commitment to eliminate Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs) and set a deadline of 30 June 2026 to resolve all outstanding cases in @jumuiya.
But beyond the commitments lies a critical question;
At #RIC2025, the CEO of @PSF_RWA challenged the region: Who will hold our governments accountable for delivering on these commitments?
As East Africa pursues deeper regional integration and industrial growth, accountability remains key.
The conversation continues at #RIC2026, 18–19 August 2026, Kampala Serena Hotel, Uganda.

At last year’s RIC Conference (#RIC2025) at @kampalaserena Hotel, @The_UIA CEO Jonan Kisakye highlighted key progress in manufacturing insurance uptake.
He noted that while 90% of large manufacturers are insured, coverage among smaller manufacturers remains lower at 64%. He further emphasized strong claims performance in the sector, with 94% of manufacturers who filed claims receiving compensation, and 64% reporting positive claims experiences.
The message was clear: as industrial competitiveness grows, strong risk protection and trust in financial systems remain central to sustainable growth. #RIC2026
And this year, we are back again.

UGX 870 BILLION.
That’s how much was paid out in insurance claims in Uganda in 2024 alone
That’s UGX 2.5 billion every single day.- This is according to @The_UIA
Insurance isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the backbone of every serious business decision.
Video: @The_UIA CEO on what this means for Uganda’s private sector!
