well, how has their global markets strength helped them in s sudan? kcb is still numero uno....the problem with these markets is the currencies are controlled thus there is an element of mispricing and misallocation..econ 101
My friend what you are saying is bull crap...here is why
1. KCB has been in South Sudan (S.S) for 8 yrs now while CFC just went there last year.
2. KCB has 25 branches in S.S while CFC has only 1.
3. CFC broke even within 9 month in S.S while KCB took years
4. In Q1 2013 KCB S.S made close to Sh400mn for KCB while CFC with its one branch made close to Sh150mn.
From the above tell me who is doing better?
