On the other hand, it would not be desirable for the converse to occur, namely for market participants practices to fall short of the principles described in the Code. That said, I think it is a good outcome of the process that we were able to distil the points of contention down to a small number of (not insignificant) issues.
I am therefore delighted that Orient Bank is joining this important call and is working with Makerere University Business School (MUBS) in this financial literacy drive. This initiative has the potential to augment the capacity of the participating small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to prepare bankable projects, improve records management and ultimately enhance their access to finance.
