Lets be honest. If banks don't react to CBR rise by increasing interest rates in line i.e. by an additional 9.5%, the CBK's policy won't work

i am not borrowing any time soon. the terms and conditions allow for the interest rate to change according to the circumstance, i just wonder where EB got the information that there is the economic crunch and that it is worldwide, or is Greece the world?

There are banks that offer fixed rates. These ones are effectively contracts for monthly repayments and are interest-rate invariant (as long as you don't default).

That interest rates can change, I know. But what I am asking is does anyone with a loan there ( other than staff) been affected ? The reason I am asking is because the moment they move effective interest rates from 15 to 25%, then the bank is in a more serious fix than the borrowers by June next year.

Then secondly, Dr Mwangi, was quoted in the press yesterday saying the way he will not increase his rates... This is very inconsistent with his Brand.

my two cents.

That is exactly what the CBR raise to 16.5% is precisely supposed to achieve. Its a trade off between lower inflation and lower economic growth. Whether the former will be achieved we just have to wait and see.

I dont think this increase will affect its target customer that much given that most 'shylocks''sharks' offer loans above 30% while most Microloans were 18% in Equity and KCB, what it means in essense is, instead of 1.5%interest per month equity will just say 2.1% interest per month.

You must think equity is a charitable organization if you expect them to lend at 15% when the CBR is 16.5%...

Dr mwangi's statements did not factor in a rate hike..
