The Uganda Securities Exchange (USE) is the principal stock exchange of Uganda. It was founded in June 1997. The USE is operated under the jurisdiction of Uganda's Capital Markets Authority, which in turn reports to the Bank of Uganda, Uganda's central bank.[2]

The exchange opened to trading in January 1998. At that time, the exchange had just one listing, a bond issued by the East African Development Bank. Trading was limited to only a handful of trades per week.[3]

As of July 2014, the USE traded 16 listed local and East African companies and had started the trading of fixed income instruments.[4] The exchange is a member of the African Stock Exchanges Association.[5]

The USE operates in close association with the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange in Tanzania, the Rwanda Stock Exchange, and the Nairobi Stock Exchange in Kenya. According to published reports in 2013, there were plans to integrate the four exchanges to form a single East African bourse.[6][7]

Uganda All Stock Index (ALSIUG) is the benchmark Index of the Uganda Securities Exchange.[8]
