    The impact of capital market development on investor’s confidence
    (Uganda Christian University, 2024-09-13) Kinobe daphine
    This study aimed to establish how the growth in capital markets is influencing investor confidence in Stanbic bank. The two key research questions guiding this research were basically how capital market growth and investor confidence relate to one another in Uganda and the current status of development and confidence in Uganda's capital market. This study took a mixed approach in conjunction with a cross-sectional survey design, and the sample size used was 28 shareholders, as determined through the Taro Yamane's mathematical formula. Results indicated that capital market development affects investor confidence at Stanbic bank. The sample consisted of 50% males and 50% females. The majority of the respondents, 82.1%, were between the age brackets of 18-25 years, while 75% of the respondents had attained tertiary education. The study concludes that, with the long term potential capital financing, Uganda should fully embrace capital markets in order to cover the capital gap as a means of bettering microeconomic stability. Small size, institutional and unstable economic policies have been identified as the limiting conditions to the local capital market. The research design is both qualitative and cross-sectional in nature, since the data collection was done between April and August 2024.
