Pre-tax profit is up 18% at half year and the interim dividend 30 cents per share,this in part could be attributed to the Libor scandal their Plc is facing,they could be trying to bridge the hole the fines will create by getting the subsidiaries to pay higher dividends.I will expect the same at full year.

In the period March to June 2012:
Total assets have shrinked by ksh. 8 billion
Total loans and advances to customers have grown by ksh.827 million
Customer deposits have declined by ksh.2 billion.
The bank needs to do alot of marketing to woo more customers for future growth.

BBK’s managing director Adan Mohamed said Tuesday the bank’s profit after tax stood at Ksh4.2 billion ($50 million) for the half ending June 2012, up from Ksh3.6 ($42.8 million)a similar period last year.

“We continue to grow in all lines of income while managing costs efficiently through investment in technology and improved productivity” said Mr Mohamed.

The businesses are run independently despite the ownership. In any event, BBK is a tiny part of Barclays PLC.

very possible. This is a mature business, with little growth prospects. Best strategy is to buy when mr Market is in a foul mood reap the dividends and sell when mr Market is euphoric.

Loan Growth was 2.0467% since End Dec which confirms the Macro Backdrop and its Complexities.
Staff Costs held to +2.77% speaks to Barclays Capacity to play solid Defence.
Raising The Interim by 50% is a Statement of Muscular Intent.
If I were Pairs Trading I would want to be long Barclays Kenya versus the PLC. (Rich)

If you think the KES 0.30 interim dividend given by BBK is good, look at the KES 0.70 interim dividend given by HFCK
