Uganda’s Quality Chemical Industries Ltd is fronting a $51 million debt refinancing deal to its shareholders, inspiring some kind of stock market enthusiasm in an electioneering season in the country.  

This credit facility comprises a $36 million loan meant to finance the construction of a second pharmaceutical plant in Kampala City and a $15 million working capital loan intended to plug short-term cash flow gaps in the company’s operations.
