"The Central Bank of Kenya is on Thursday afternoon expected to announce regulatory sanctions against three major commercial banks accused of being partly responsible for the plummeting shilling.

An audit carried out by the Central Bank revealed that the three institutions had forex transactions worth Sh22 billion last week."
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Two of the banks are equity and k.c.b . Amnt sure of the third one.
Indeed speculators in these banks are to blame.

This is the wrong way to go about arresting the depreciating shilling the reason being any outflows from this banks are submitted to CBK before execution.

What this means is that CBK has the most inefficient systems and staff who do not have signals to warn them of an impending strike like we have witnessed this past week.

CBK will antagonize the players in the forex market and although in the short term it might think its winning it might pay in future if the sanction they will impose would affect the said banks substantially.

I don't think Equity is in that league. I'd say BBK, Stanchart and KCB.
But anyway, lets wait for CBK to let us in!

@ CDE the above banks are the ones who hold the most corporate bank accounts especially CITI which is a fully coroporate bank only. CITI is in the list for sure.

That's true as i'm also thinking along the lines of who'd be the greatest facilitators of foreignor repatriation..i.e BBK, SCBK, CITI.

i thought "speculation" was legal!!! If thats the case 3quarters of the people in NSE should be "probed" too....
Shorting currencies is quite a normal practice in capitalism!

If its "hoarding" then...thats a different thing

its BBK,SCB and Citi Bank.

indeed they should be shamed and probably their names to be revealed to the citizens.This would teach them a lesson.
