Fellow, Wazuan's I wanted your input on a query.
As some of you may know one can borrow on KES fixed deposit/savings at 3-4% margin on savings rate i.e. If a fixed deposit of X is earning 8% once can borrow roughly 0.9X or less for 11-12%.
Does this logic also apply to USD/GBP savings? Are the same margins charged as they are for KES?
GBP/USD savings are at mostly around 1-3%, and if the above logic applies, therefore, one can borrow at 4-7%, which I think is comparatively cheap.
Is it as straightforward or is there more to it? Kindly educate.
