Uganda has bold ambitions. So does Absa.
With a USD 500 billion Ugandan economy by 2040, driven by energy, infrastructure, trade and mining development, the ingredients for transformation are already in place.
Our Absa Group Regional Executive Saviour Chibiya was in Kampala last week to show exactly where we stand in that growth story.
Uganda isn't just a market on a map for us. It's a place we are building for financing energy, connecting infrastructure, and backing the businesses writing the next chapter of East Africa's growth.
Here's a recap of his visit: sitting with clients, engaging the regulator and government, connecting with the Board, and spending time with our incredible Absa Bank Uganda team.
Watch the action.
Strong relationships are built in moments that matter.
Established in 1911, Kampala Club is a cornerstone of Uganda’s social and sporting heritage, bringing together generations through sport, connection, and shared experiences.
We are proud to support the Chairman’s Cup 2026 with a UGX 15 million contribution, presented by our Head of Affluent Banking, Winfred Sembatya earlier today at the Club premises.
This is a partnership that reflects our commitment to the communities we serve.
Your story matters.
If machines can do more… what will define us as humans?
As technology reshapes industries, the real question is no longer about replacement but about relevance.
At the 2026 @nssfug Career Expo, our Human Capital Director, Henry Tumusiime, shared a powerful perspective: the future of banking and work is shifting toward what machines cannot replicate empathy, judgment, and meaningful human connection.
In a world defined by constant change, adaptability is no longer optional, it is essential.
At Absa, we are committed to shaping talent that doesn’t just keep up with change, but leads through it.
Because in the future of work, your story, and how you choose to evolve it will matter more than ever.
Empowering women isn’t just something we celebrate. It’s something we build.
At @AbsaUganda, 44.3% of our Assistant Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents are women, and 42.9% of our Directors and senior leaders are women.
These are the leaders shaping decisions, guiding teams, and opening doors for others to rise.
Their stories remind us that progress begins from within. And when women uplift others, the impact reaches far beyond our organisation.
Because when we give, we all gain.
Happy women's day from all of us at Absa
