sidian bank

Investment firm Centum has pumped Sh1.1 billion into its banking subsidiary Sidian in a rights issue that is meant to boost the lender’s core capital.

Sidian chief executive Chege Thumbi said the capital injection will support trade finance, which the bank has been eyeing as part of a wider scheme aimed at growing its loan book.

Centum holds a 73 per cent stake in Sidian Bank and the Sh1.1 billion cash injection means it has defended its entire stake in the rights issue.

“Shareholders approved a total of Sh1.5 billion rights issue and we have received Sh1.1 billion, which is the share due from our main shareholder Centum. The other investors have until November to contribute their share of the rights,” Mr Thumbi said.

Sidian bank is a thorn in the flesh of centum.
They are to report full year results before thursday which will be a loss widening compared to last year.

If Centum can find a financing and operating partner then this will be another decent "fair value gain" in Centum's books. The question is "when?" and the sooner the better!

Forget about the coal power plant for now.
It's not being built any time soon.

Yes, a $2bn power plant isn't like installing a solar panel.
