Continued demand for dollars keeps the Shilling on a back footing

By

The currency was quite volatile during the week opening the session trading at the 3765/3775 levels and weakening to trade at lows of 3790/3800 before strengthening marginally to trade at the 3770/3780 levels.


Continued demand for dollars kept the unit on a back footing but healthy month-end inflows gave the currency some relief. Looking ahead as we head into the new month the currency is anticipated to trade within the 3720 – 3820 trading range and still expect some pockets of demand for dividends but also continued flows from NGOs, commodity exporters and other sectors.
Fairly liquid Money Markets during the week with overnight yields easing marginally to trade within the 9.00% -12.00% levels during the week. Bank of Uganda held a Treasury Bill auction on Wednesday and the 91-day, 182-day and 364-day tenors cleared at averages of 10.384%, 10.512% and 13.000% respectively. The next Monetary Policy Committee meeting is scheduled for 6th April 2023.


Catherine Kijjagulwe, Head of Trading at Absa Bank Uganda at last some two-way flow was seen in the Kenyan market during the week with some inflows from the tea sector and Central Bank, but continued demand from the energy and manufacturing sectors kept the unit weak. The unit traded within the 130.50 -140.50 levels. The Monetary Policy Committee raised the Central Bank rate by 75bps to 9.50% citing continued inflationary pressures.


“The dollar was volatile during Thursday’s session losing some ground as bond yields edged lower as the market awaits the US Inflation print and the Fed’s upcoming action with regard to Monetary Policy,” she said.


The Euro rode on the dollar’s weakness to touch highs of $1.0926 (Shs 4110) on Sunday, closing the day at $1.0906 (Shs 4103).
The Pound followed suit, touching highs of $1.2393 (Shs 4662) as concerns of a financial crisis subsided during the week.
She said Brent Crude traded at $78.69 (Shs 296,046) a barrel and West Texas Intermediate traded at $73.98 (Shs 278326) a barrel with a marginal rise in oil prices after a drop in US stockpiles to a 2-year low and a stop in oil exports from Iraq. The expectation is for China’s demand and sustained lower production from Russia in the long term to lead to a rise in oil prices.
Gold traded at $1974.33 (Shs 7.4 Million) an ounce.

A Brief Explanation of Shiba Inu Coin and Its Impact To Dogecoin

By
Our Reporter
-

In the cryptocurrency world, there have been many coins that have tried to compete with bitcoin’s market share, but none have gained as much popularity as Dogecoin. It started as a joke on the internet, but it quickly grew into one of the most popular cryptocurrencies online.

Shiba Inu, the newest cryptocurrency on the market, has been called a “Dogecoin killer” ever since it started gaining traction among investors. This nickname is not only inaccurate, but it also misses the bigger picture of what makes Shiba Inu stand above the rest: its focus on ease of use and accessibility.

What is Shiba Inu Coin

Shiba Inu Coin (SIC) is a cryptocurrency used primarily on the Shiba Inu Blog, a website devoted to the Shiba Inu dog breed. It was created when Dogecoin was well-established and it was one of the first crypto coins to be made in the image of an animal. 

SHIB coin can also be used for trading pair with Tether or SHIB USDT along with other pairs such as ETH BTC, DOGE USDT and more.

It originally existed as a fork of Litecoin, and like Litecoin, it has a short block generation time—only 1 minute—which makes for faster transaction speeds than many other coins.

Shiba Inu Coin also uses Scrypt mining just like Litecoin and other popular coins rather than Bitcoins SHA-256 algorithm. It makes mining of Shibas much faster and more stable (not subject to huge spikes in hashing power). It also keeps the coin accessible to normal users who don’t have super-powerful computers like those needed to mine Bitcoins.

Why Shiba Inu Coin is Considered the Dogecoin Killer

One reason why people might think that Shiba Inu Coin is a Dogecoin killer is because it has established a fixed limit on the maximum number of coins that will ever exist. This number remains unchanged as long as the coin exists and there will not be any new coins created when it reaches this limit. 

This means that if you own one Shiba Inu Coin, you could hold onto it forever and never become part of a declining market with falling prices. If there are no new coins created, then there will be no additional supply in the market, which should help to maintain an increase in value over time.

A lot of people are calling Shibe the “Dogecoin Killer”. They say it’s faster and better than Dogecoin, because its new technology called “Techno” can handle more transactions per second than Dogecoin. They say this makes it cheaper to use for microtransactions like buying coffee or tipping someone on the internet for a funny picture or video they posted.

Shiba Inu is called Dogecoin killer because of its much-improved features which will make it a better alternative to Dogecoin.

  1. It will be more secure and reliable than Dogecoin.

Shiba Inu will use a new concept known as the ‘Blockchain 2.0’ to give the users a safe, secure and reliable platform to trade in.

  1. There can be multiple virtual currencies based on Shiba Inu’s Blockchain technology.

This means that if one currency fails or becomes obsolete, there will always be another one for the users to use.

  1. It will have a decentralized nature with no single point of failure and no centralized authority over it. This is also known as ‘decentralized currency’.

Why Is Shiba Inu Coin Better Than Dogecoin?

Shiba Inu is faster than Dogecoin, which means that you can send money more quickly. It’s also more secure and liquid, so if you want to trade your coin for another cryptocurrency, cash out into USD, it’s easier to do that on Shiba Inu than Dogecoin. And there are plenty of other exciting benefits too:

  • An active community of Shibas (that’s what people who love Shiba Inu call themselves)
  • A better ecosystem with all kinds of apps — wallets and exchanges — aimed at making sure Shibas are always safe and secure
  • A better price — the market cap is currently $0.000011 while Dogecoin is still struggling at $0

The Shiba Inu Ecosystem 

SHIB

The Shiba Inu Ecosystem is a platform that allows users to trade, buy and sell anything with the use of Shiba Inus. The ecosystem provides an online wallet service for storing your coins, as well as a mobile app for trading coins on the go. Users can also use their native token (SHIB) to purchase things like food or clothing.

Shiba Inu SHIB

Shiba Inu SHIB is the currency of the Shiba Inu Ecosystem. It can be used to buy and sell products, services, and digital assets in every market on the Internet.

LEASH

LEASH is a decentralized blockchain-based social media platform for Shiba Inu owners. It is an ecosystem that allows Shibas to be rewarded for their content, and allows users to make money by using the Leash token (Leash).

BONE

BONE is a platform for the collection, exchange and trading of dog bones.

This ecosystem serves as the primary means of collecting data on the population dynamics of Shiba Inus (and their owners). The system records every time a bone is collected or exchanged by its owner, which allows us to track how often people are giving away their bones so we can use them later for research purposes.

SHIBASWAP

Shiba Inu Swap is a decentralized exchange for Shiba Inu tokens. It allows users to trade shibas without intermediaries, and it’s also compatible with all ERC20 tokens.

The Shiba Inu swap has an easy-to-use interface that makes it convenient for anyone to trade their shibas without having to worry about learning how to use a complex trading platform. It supports both buy and sell orders as well as limit orders, stop losses and much more.

Shiba Inu Incubator

Shiba Inu Incubator is designed to help new projects launch on the Shiba Inu blockchain. It’s a decentralized incubator that offers funding and mentorship to help new projects get off the ground.

Shibosis

Shibosis is a website that provides shiba inu enthusiasts with everything they need to know about the breed. You can find news and information about the dog, as well as a marketplace for products related to them. The site also provides a forum for shiba owners to connect with each other and share their experiences with the breed.

Fort Portal Hospital gets dispensers worth Shs29.4m

By
Geoffery Serugo
-

Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital has received four drinking water dispensers worth Shs 29.4 million. The dispensers will increase access to safe drinking water for patients, caretakers and medical personnel while helping the facility save on costs related to drinking water.

The hospital serves 10 surrounding districts and receives over 800 patients daily who have to provide their own drinking water to take medication, with many resorting to drinking un-boiled water, which leads to several diseases.

Donated by Absa Bank, the water units will cater to 174 ill children and their caretakers under the children’s ward; 107 people under the maternity ward; 101 women in labour and post-natal care and 111 caretakers under the gynecology ward; 300 people under the Out-Patient Department – which is the busiest department and; an average of 170 people in the Emergency Unit.

Mumba Kalifungwa, Absa Bank Uganda’s Managing Director, said, “The world is already facing a water crisis, and it is doubly tragic that this crisis is trickling down and affecting those with great need within our health facilities. Through these dispensers, we are staying true to our commitment to being a force for good in the society we live and operate in for the good of the people of Fort Portal and the surrounding districts.”

According to the World Health Organisation, over two billion people globally live in water-stressed countries, which is expected to be exacerbated in some regions as a result of climate change and population growth.  Additionally, eight out of 10 people who lack even basic drinking water services live in rural areas, and about half of them live in the least developed countries (LDCs).

Dr Oscar Kaliisa Kyebambe, the Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital deputy director, said, “Clean and safe drinking water is an absolute necessity for a healthy and thriving society, and as a health facility, the inadequate access to drinking water has been a cause of delays for in patients around receiving and positively responding to treatment.”

Dear Africa, we must fix African Union by ourselves

By
Guest Writer

Writer of the article David Matsanga.

By David Matsanga

I write this note because of the dangers that are facing Africa. Africa is heading in a wrong direction towards collapse. Our African Union (AU) has been captured by external non-member states, who give us the agenda.

Our strength of unity has been diluted by the same external forces that pay both sides in Africa to create chaos and conflicts on the continent.

The dark forces pay opposition and the pay the same governments and leave Africa to boil.

It is certainly the stupidity of we African people ourselves who have allowed to be used by external dark forces. It is our refusal to think for ourselves or our refusal to take our own destiny in our hands. It our abject lack of self-belief!  

We as Africans are a confused lot. It is a sheer scale of pride and ego that has made us not say we are the problem. Look at the way we beg Western nations to do things for us yet we could do them without their support. We have not learnt lessons from China which was poor 40 years ago. Today it gives us loans!!!!

It is a fact that certainly, the systemic engineering is working on us so much so that we brutalize ourselves, we destroy one another, we find every chance to cheat ourselves, and go as far as killing one another. 

Look at the current spate of elections related noise that we see in Africa. Look at the damage caused by a foreign doctrine of having periodic election every 4 or 5 years and the type of damage we have caused to our countries.

I see the danger of Africa disintegrating if we don’t act now to change the trend by recapturing AU. How can anyone be expecting less of these of happening to us, when we are told from childhood that we are our own enemies?

My fellow Africans, if we are our own enemies then we shall continue to do the worse against one another because no one does anything positive towards his known enemy.  We therefore must change the course.

We must resist the temptations of George Soros methods of regime change that I see taking a wave in Africa.  The happening across the continent worry me and would worry any Pan African alive.

I believe that we can change the AUC for the best of generations to come not for the next elections. Sadly, we have not cooperated and felt proud to be with everyone on the surface of the earth except with ourselves.

My fellow Africans, we have revisited issues that were created by colonialists as future obstacles. Lesotho wants the map of Africa redrawn. How many African states will want the boundaries redrawn?

My fellow Africans deep in me, I have unquestionable conviction that it is not possible! No matter how deep the crack is, we are capable of fixing it. As Africans we need to fix this at one time.

My fellow Africans we must retake our AU to the original objectives. It has lost the compass bearing and the ship is sinking. The current leadership at AUC has no clue on what must be done to stop the ship from sinking.

The sharp conflicts in Libya, DRC, Somalia, Cameroon, Nigeria, the civil uprisings in several African countries after Elections or due to corruption allegations, the clamour   for redrawing boundaries, all add to my call for FIXING AFRICA  .

Gen. Muhoozi attacks Ministers over big conveys

Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba

Gen Kainerugaba Muhoozi, President Museveni’s Adviser on Special Operations, has attacked ministers over big convoys accusing them of causing lot of jam in Kampala.

Muhoozi posted on his twitter handle“They are all panicking in their big offices, big cars, convoys that cause traffic jams in Kampala. How can every Minister have a convoy?” Muhoozi tweeted.

Muhoozi added that it is only the president to have a convoy, not anyone else.

“Only Mzee, the President, should have a convoy. Only I, MK, can travel to Kisekka Market in my vehicle and be received with flowers,” he said.

In Uganda, all ministers are entitled to convoys for security purposes and given direct way on all roads.

He went further and warned the National Resistance Movement Secretary General, Richard Twodong for over yapping.

 “Oh! Twodong? He is shouting a lot these days? Is he scared that we might remove him from being Secretary General?” Muhoozi asked.

The attack on Twodong comes in at a time when he recently said that President Museveni is very young and is at the best age of being a president and that he now understands Uganda’s issues with wisdom, maturity and patience. Gen. Muhoozi, who is yearning for the presidential seat, could not swallow these utterances by the NRM Secretary General.

Muhoozi had earlier warned ICT Minister Dr. Chris Baryomunsi saying “I remember planning with my father to arrest this gentleman back in 2012 when he was a ‘rebel’ MP” Gen. Muhoozi reference to Baryomunsi was after he (Baryomunsi) had stated that he (Muhoozi) was not a member of NRM but rather a serving military officer”

Museveni revealed this in a statement issued on Thursday that, “we are not going to battle or fight the M-23. The Congolese government and the M-23, have agreed to a peace plan. This involves cessation of hostilities (fighting), withdrawal of the M-23 from some of the specified areas they had captured to other areas that have been agreed upon.”  he said. 

There had been speculative speculated that the 1,000 troops had been deployed to DRC to fight the M-23 rebels.

The statement added that the DRC government has been involved in peace talks with the rebels. He noted that the two should continue as is to solve the problem and return peace to Eastern DRC.

“Our initial mission, therefore, is to occupy some of the positions that the M-23 has handed over to the East African Force as a neutral force, instead of the Congolese army which the M-23 see as enemies or armed opponents in their internal politics,” he said.

 He added that the troops will be in the Bunagana–Rutshuru area to act to act as a neutral force as the Congolese warrying parties get political solutions to the conflict.

The president said: “Unless we are attacked, we are not there to fight,”.

The Ugandan troops will be in Bunagana and Rutshuru, the areas where the M23 have been operating. Museveni also said the East African Regional Force would fight if non-state actors do not follow what has been follow peace agreement.

Stanbic Bank has unveiled the 8th edition of the National Schools Championship programme to further support Uganda’s economic resilience. For the last eight years the program has impacted 420,000 students across the country and expanded opportunities by empowering young people with employable and entrepreneurial skills.  

The annual challenge is aimed at nurturing participants into a generation of innovative job creators with knowledge and life skills such as managing personal finance, entrepreneurship, and business management.   Annually, 600 business ideas are mooted by the students and to date, 187 startups have been brought to life along with numerous growth stories from alumni and patron teachers as a direct result of the championship.

 The overall theme is ‘Empowering the job creators of tomorrow’, with the 2023 tagline ‘Powering Innovation for Job Creation’,  intended to encourage learners to develop innovative solutions to the challenges in their communities.   Stanbic Bank is the anchor subsidiary of Stanbic Uganda Holdings Limited which in turn is part of Standard Bank Group, the largest African banking group by assets.   Speaking during the official launch of the 2023 NSC at Crested Towers Emma Mugisha, the Stanbic Bank Executive Director said, “We cannot reach the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals without investing in youth skills. As Stanbic Bank, we are exceedingly proud of the Championship.

It is our flagship CSI initiative and we are also proud of our long partnership with the Ministry of Education and Sports, to empower young people to play their future roles in the economic development of this country.”   “Not only are they being equipped with life skills to be able to make responsible decisions; meet challenges head on; and set and achieve goals, they are also benefiting from training in financial literacy, business skills and entrepreneurship. At the same time they learn the importance of integrating environmental protection to ensure sustainable development,” she said.   Mugisha said, “Through the NSC, we are preparing these students for the future of work, whether that is in employment, self-employment or as an entrepreneur. We are giving them the vital push they need for them to take control of their future and be able to meaningfully contribute to their communities. This falls squarely in line with our mandate Uganda is our home, we drive her growth”   Mugisha also appreciated the partners that have been a part of the National Schools Championship over the years – The implementing partner, Investors Club, NBS, Roofings, Total, PWC and International University of East Africa (IUEA).  

Classroom competitions involving an initial 100 schools have already taken place to select the students who will move onto the next stage. In the first week of April these students will take part in the Business Innovations Ideas presentation stage. During the second half of 2023 over 60,000 students are expected to compete in the business ideas challenge.   The main categories are; Start-ups which involves new schools and innovative ideas (81 schools) and Biz Grow that judges businesses continuing in schools with 19 schools competing. The other categories are Alumni (AlumGrow Challenge) and teachers (TeachGrow Challenge).  

The Minister of Youth and Children Affairs, Sarah Mateke said, “The Ministry believes that to utilize young people’s potential as agents of change, requires involving and empowering them. From the very beginning we have been enthusiastic partners with Stanbic Bank in holding the annual National Schools Championship. By teaching our students to be job-creators and problem-solvers, this competition is helping to bridge the gap between educational institutions and the community to collaborate on finding solutions that strengthen community development.”  

She explained that the Ministry also believes that learning is not confined to the achievement of academic goals alone. It can and should be promoted in a range of other contexts both within and outside of the classroom as represented by the National Schools Championship. And that school competitions also help students to develop and demonstrate real-world skills, which can be relevant for almost any job.   “We therefore applaud Stanbic Bank for their continued sponsorship of this competition and declare this Season 8 officially open” Mateke said.
