The above table compares the regional distribution of UDB's loans (total owing) to the weight of the regions as measured by their respective populations.
In the table, it can be seen that with the exception of Kampala which had 4.6% of Uganda's total population but received 34.15% of UDB's total portfolio, the other 4 regions had a high positive correlation between the weight in national population and the proportion of UDB's loans invested in the regions.
This reflects that regionally, the bank's lending operations were fairly evenly spread. It is however important to note that such fairly even distribution of its loans had a serious drag on the bank's managerial and logistical infrastructure.
