1) The Chinese are financing it and building it so why the need for local financing? What GoK is financing has and will be raised from the Eurobond & Infrastructure Bonds. Whereas ALL banks can/will buy the infrastructure bonds, banks prefer lending at much higher rates/spreads to the private sector.

2) There may be some local financing for some local firms but the Chinese will probably find a way into this market as well. They have trillions of $$$ so why not venture into this sector? It is only a matter of time until a Chinese Bank buys into a local bank.

Real value in the short term comes from ancillary industries that can spring up around the SGR construction. Hopefully, this results in skills transfer that leads to long-term benefits.


Contractors paid for work done and certified so they have to either use retained earnings or short term loans. The Chinese banks will not handle local lending but just lend to the China based companies which will look for funds in China then come spend it here.
China banks already have a HUGE Asian market especially India with a billion people why come to unstable Africa before handling Asian countries next door first



India is not like black Africa. They ahve their conglomerates which can rival the Chinese,they've got the man power and the government.

The present black Africa is not similar to the largely unstable ungovernable gvts we had in the 90s. We have a large growing middle class and fairly competitive democracies. For you to leap from upcoming growth, you must invest in Africa now. China knows that.

Of course they can add a default risk premium to Africa higher than that charged to US or say India.


@Gatheuzi, What's your point exactly? My response was to the reason behind China coming black Africa way than going to India.

Don't you think your argument [in red] above supports what iam alluding to? Link it with my red.

"mkeiy I now see what you meant smile . I had thought you were implying that China will prefer India to Africa.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

NAIROBI Jan 16 (Reuters) - Africa focused investment firm Helios will sell half its stake in Kenyan lender Equity Bank , or 12.22 percent of the bank's shares, to Norway's Norfininvest AS, the lender said on Friday.

The transaction, which requires regulatory approvals, will involve the sale of 452.9 million shares at an undisclosed price.

Equity's shares were trading at 52 Kenyan shillings on Friday, up slightly from the previous day's close of 51 shillings.

Norfininvest is jointly owned by Norfund, the Norwegian Investment Fund for Developing Countries, and Norfinance AS. Norfinance was established in 2013 alongside four private Norwegian partners to invest in banks and financial institutions in Africa.

Helios bought a 24.45 percent stake in Equity in 2007 for more than 11 billion shillings ($120.2 million).
