Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Well, when you pick up one end of a stick, so do you do the other. In this situation, yes this is indeed significant business risk. My personal response to this is calm & rational thought. Looking at the profit splits in FY2011, ALL KCB Group subsidiaries contributed 10% to net profits. Thus, SS can comfortably be lowered in expectations untill further notice and I'm certain we won't starve at Group level.

@ Heri,

KCB has a wide branch network in South Sudan and has presence in every state capital. Due to wide network coverage, it is mostly the bank of choice for Government and 100s of NGO spread all over Sudan. Most of their income mostly is in transaction fees ( money transfers, bank charges, forex etc) and i do not think they are big on loans here due to collateral issues, so they are cushioned from assets losses.

The volatile border areas are a bit far from where the banks operations are and i doubt they will be affected.

FYI South Sudan is their best performing subsidiary. It is a great bank here in Sudan and for those who invest in shares it is a good deal ( for me shares are a no for personal reasons)

My 2 cents

worst case scenario for roar is complete halt of the SS operation and as @cde observed that subsidiaries brought in 10% of the profits then a large chunk of this 10% would be eroded in 2012 as the SS subsidiary is the most profitable of all however this would have a marginal effect on group profits for 2012

In other thinking, neither govts can afford a full scale war at this time. Where will the finance come from? Yes Militia action can persist IMO.

Answers may be in how many states are being bombed? Are there fuel in those states? My thinking is SS will string contribute to KCB's roar with or without war owing to the heavy presence. Time will tell

No worry here...
Neither of Sudan can actually afford to fight a war. This is a war of attrition whose outcome will be determined by which of the two faltering economies collapses first than by relative military prowess. A Somali situation is likely, albeit as distant possibility.

As someone pointed, Kenyans were over optimistic of South Sudan prospects but I think this conflict has come at the right time. KCB can easily survive without the meager contribution its operations in SS is contributing to its bottom-line.
