Risks In Our Business
Evaluating the risks of the microfinance industry is difficult because it’s not correlated to the overall success of a country. Microfinance clients are people in poverty who can’t find jobs and resort to entrepreneurship by survival. This means that microfinance does not depend on typical macroeconomic considerations such as GDP growth, employment, and a strong democracy.
Nonetheless, investing in microloans in Uganda is a high risk investment due to the nature of our clientele and unsecured lending model. Below, we plan to illuminate the key risks that we perceive and how we handle them.
We Believe The Biggest Risks In Our Business Are:
Our loans are unsecured and distributed to people in extreme poverty who could run away or otherwise be unable to pay. We depend heavily on community relationships to enforce collections and guarantee loans.
We borrow in USD and lend in Ugandan Shilling (UGX). While UGX has been gaining strength on the USD, we don’t project for that to continue. The Ugandan government is continuing to import more than it exports. This risk will be dramatically reduced once Uganda begins to export it’s 1.4 billion barrels of recoverable oil–projected to begin in 2021, but delayed due to COVID. In our financial projections, we assumed an inflation rate of 4% higher than USD inflation rate for the next 5 years.
President Yoweri Museveni has been in office since 1986 and is now 77 years old, so Uganda may have a new president in the next 10 years. It’s very uncertain if this could lead to the first honest election in Uganda, an appointed president, or create a power vacuum that could lead to political unrest. That said, the Bank of Uganda and the Ministry of Microfinance control a strong level of autonomy from the government.
Uganda remains with only a fraction of their population vaccinated. Future lockdowns are possible, which may affect some of our client’s abilities to pay. Most of our clients are food vendors (ie. essential workers) and our staff has police authority to continue operations during lockdowns.
