Banking sector has been rated HOLD and not SELL. Most counters still have headroom albeit small. CFC has huge headroom.
Also, government is not crowding out private lending. Government is on a monetary easing cycle. Check 91day paper is a low 6.721%. …. And soon, government will be offering a euro bond.
GoK has been overcrowding the private sector for almost 6 quarters now....there is alot of evidence out there....in fact most of the lending banks were doing was to GoK...how do you explain domestic debt surging 25% in such a short time span yet lending to the private sector shrunk to single digits.....oh and how is GoK gonna fix the huge deficit? Do eurobond to pay recurrent expenditure? Hike prices of basic goods through the VAT Bill? maybe the rally in T-Bills will be short lived after all.
1. We are done with the phase where CBK had tightened monetary policy. Monetary easing phase is now here
2. It is common-sense that a developing country like ours will keep borrowing even in an easing cycle. The borrowing does not stop the easing cycle and does not have to crowd out private lending.
3. I repeat, government borrowings will not ceaze. The government will issue euro bond but not for recurrent expenditure. They will also borrow internally.
4. Government will also majorly use a mixture of revenue generating sources (taxes, duties et al) to fund development. I expect government to strike a good equilibrium that will be good for the people. We have a think-tank working on achieving this equilibrium.
5. Watch private lending increase at double digit
6. Watch banking sector grow at double digit
