Now, I wud not mind borrowing from a chap like you... as long as u calculate at 10% of 10%... LOL... Of the 15bn, not all would go to the subsidiaries... I think KCB will invest a good chunk into expanding their Kenya footprint through ATMs, etc... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - *to paraphrase Warren Buffett*

It is NOT about lending the 15bn (or the capital) but about using that to leverage the capital structure for more deposits (thus increased lending)... For more info look up Reserve Ratio... multiple sources... just google... This topic is way too complex (or rather I am lazy) to discuss here... Please ask questions if u have them...

What is Ksh15bn going to be spent on that is going generate returns of around 12% (or whatever t-bills) are now? Why is it paying out Ksh2.2bn in dividends at the sametime as asking for Ksh15bn?

The utimate goal of investing is to buy low sell high;if we re-write this core equation in psychology terms it becomes buy fear sell greed.

Well, I think the loan growth will translate into higher earnings as long as KCB keeps bad debts down & maintains/expands NIM. Growth will come from the CORE business of lending. The rest (forex income, commissions) are all icing... - The retrenchment is about 'rightsizing'... OK, I dont like to use these terms but KCB needs savvier/knowledgeable/friendlier employeess not the civil service wazee... - I see KCB pushing for more slef-service options like ATMs & online banking - what is kcb doing different to justify a higher return? No idea! Yet... waiting for AGM - KCB hopes Rw, Ug Tz become profitable in 2010. Sometimes it takes time to build up a brand. Example: KenolKobil slowly built up its regional business by acquisitions & as new entrants. Ethiopia (80+ stations) still loses cash (or makes very little) but the expectations are high. After 7 years, KK's regional subsidiaries (current) ROI has exceeded Kenya! ...all these are pipe dreams! kwani other banks will just sit by and watch while kcb gets it right?kcbtz hasnt turned a profit in over 8 years of operation, what will change? the subsidairies returned a net loss of 100mio...all are in the red including the blue eyed boy of the group(read sudan)..ok except s&l which is now a dept...kcb needs a radical change...the entire board must go..the retrenchment cannot weed out anywher close to as many people need to be weeded out...the civil servants culture is already entrenched in the newer entrants...

See the annual report. - Where did u get that Sudan made a loss? No-one is saying KCB will make it right... we have no idea... And no-one (esp Equity) is going to wait around for KCB to get their act in order... For me... it will boil down to numbers... There are many fish in the sea... Greedy when others are fearful.

LOL... I just pointed out the untruths (I do not want to call them lies) you were peddling... There were only 2 items I pointed out coz those were 'facts' as provided by KCB... unless they lied! I am not disputing your opinions... everyone has one... sometimes more than one...As I said before, there is a distinction... Greedy when others are fearful.
