Uganda NSSF Declares Record 22.53% Interest Rate for 2025/2026
Kampala, Uganda — The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) of Uganda has announced a record interest rate of 22.53% for the Financial Year 2025/2026. The landmark declaration was made during the Fund’s 14th Annual Members Meeting held on September 24 at the Serena Kampala Hotel.
The new rate marks a substantial increase from the 13.5% declared last year. This surge is attributed to an 85% increase in total income, which reached UGX 6.5 trillion, while the fund’s total assets have grown to hit UGX 32.8 trillion.
In a major boost for savers, NSSF revealed it paid out UGX 1.5 trillion in benefits to over 50,000 members. Additionally, the fund successfully reactivated 55,000 dormant accounts and added 311,000 new savers to its portfolio.
The impressive financial performance is largely driven by heavy investments in domestic projects, including government bonds.
Members have welcomed the news, calling it a major win for savers. NSSF reaffirmed its commitment to beating inflation and expanding its reach by 2035.
