The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has announced a 13.5 percent interest rate for members for the financial year 2024\/2025 \u2014 the highest payout since 2017 when savers earned 15 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The declaration was made on Monday, September 22, 2025, during the Fund\u2019s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Kampala, bringing renewed optimism to the Fund\u2019s 2.3 million members. The rate marks a notable improvement from last year\u2019s 11.5 percent and 10 percent the year before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to NSSF officials, the impressive performance was driven by stronger investment returns, improved compliance among employers, and gains from the Fund\u2019s diversified portfolio, which includes fixed income, equities, and real estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis year\u2019s performance reflects the resilience of the Fund and its commitment to delivering tangible value to our members despite prevailing economic challenges,\u201d said the Managing Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The payout translates into more than UGX 2.5 trillion credited to member accounts, surpassing the UGX 2 trillion distributed in the previous financial year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Analysts observed that while the increase is significant, inflationary pressures and currency depreciation may dilute returns. With Uganda\u2019s annual inflation hovering around 5 percent, members will still benefit from positive real gains on their savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement cements NSSF\u2019s position as one of East Africa\u2019s top-performing retirement funds, with regional peers largely offering single-digit returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Managing assets exceeding UGX 20 trillion, NSSF continues to face public scrutiny over governance and investment decisions. However, officials at the AGM underscored that this year\u2019s results are evidence of the Fund\u2019s long-term stability and sustainability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
