A hawker in downtown Kampala can turn UGX 200,000 of stock five times in a day, while a supermarket with air-conditioning, CCTV, polished shelves, and a procurement department can sit on UGX 2 billion of dead inventory and still call itself sophisticated.

Industry profit after tax reached UGX 2.16 trillion, with return on assets at 4% and return on equity at 20%.

Leading boards focus on engineering future capability and boardroom behavior.. READ MORE
