Uganda’s Finance Minister, Hon. Matia Kasaija, to Speak at UK–Africa Business Summit 2025

LONDON, UK — The 15th UK–Africa Business, Trade & Investment Summit on 12 September 2025 will spotlight one of East Africa’s most influential financial architects: Hon. Matia Kasaija, Uganda’s Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. Taking place at the prestigious Royal Horseguards Hotel & One Whitehall Place, this summit is not just another conference — it is where deals are initiated, partnerships sealed, and capital meets credibility.

🔍 A Timely Economic Mission

With East Africa’s GDP growth averaging over 5% and a rapidly urbanising population of 170 million+, the region is ripe for scalable investment. Against this backdrop, Hon. Kasaija will outline Uganda’s latest fiscal reforms, investor incentives, and blended-finance strategies that are making infrastructure, agri-processing and green finance highly investable.

“This is a pivotal moment to engage UK capital markets and align them with East Africa’s development trajectory,” said Hon. Kasaija, who will participate in high-level sessions alongside senior ministers and DFIs from Kenya, Tanzania and across the UK government.

🎯 Why It Matters to Investors

• Exclusive Access to bankable, pre-vetted investment opportunities across sectors — from geothermal and SEZs to agri-finance and digital commerce.
• Direct Dialogue with ministers and regulators to navigate entry barriers and tailor PPP models.
• Policy Insight into macroeconomic frameworks driving Uganda’s industrialisation and fiscal stability.

Hon. Kasaija’s contributions will be central to Panel 1 – East Africa’s Growth Priorities, addressing fiscal policy innovation, SME finance, and the creation of regional value chains.

🌍 Trilateral Momentum

The summit’s overarching theme — “Advancing the UK–Africa–India Tri-Lateral Market Corridor” — positions London as the axis for transcontinental investment flows. With UK Export Finance, the London Chamber of Commerce, and African diaspora leaders participating, this is a rare chance to tap into actionable intelligence and high-trust networks.
