Not true. KCB converted a loan (probably secured) to (unsecured) equity.


Not reverse, asking for a friend?

It's as @vvs has stated but why he believes it would have no impact on provisions defeats logic
Substance over Form. Yes, it probably reduced the provisions but not because there were recoveries or regularization of the loans. The Capital Ratios took a hit. "Equity" investments in entities like KQLC are not included in critical Capital Ratios calculations.

If all the NPLs for any bank were converted to shares in (bankrupt) firms, would the bank become healthier?

Of course not if the amount was significant but in this case it's not! KCB assets are fast approaching 1trillion!!!

Actually, KCB converted unsecured loan to a secured loan (secured partly by the KQ shares through KQLC and partly by government guarantee)

I can understand lending unsecured funds to strong firms with a good management, decent cashflow and strong parents like BAT, even EABL with its problems, among others but KQ has been losing billions since 2012.
KCB should have had better insight into KQ than we do.

KQ has been in the crapper for years. Even if they do not do a complete DD, why not take collateral against it? KQ has "Pride Center" among other assets e.g. land...
I do not have KCB shares but I suffered through Equity and I&M.
It's interesting to note that the "foreign" banks eg BBK and SCBK weren't significantly affected. Could it be they do better DD? Or they could not be arm-twisted into lending to KQ? Or they were more sensible?

You wont get a decent response from @vvs. He states that KCB should have taken the Pride Centre as collateral and then? In the event of default, the bank would sell off government co-owned property? Huyu @vvs hunishangaza. Its for the same reason that banks do not lend on collateral to Public Universities as well as Public Hospitals and almost all mainstream Churches.. You cannot sell these collateral easily without massive reputational damage

Equity and I&M were desperately looking for customers to lend money.
Why is the interest rate at which kcb charged kq higher than that of Equity bank and I&M?
I am a fan of JM and I do not understand the reason for giving KQ a loan if it was unsecured.
From what I understand, Equity refused to accept the initial proposal from GoK/KQ for the Debt Conversion. Banks like I&M went "Yes, Massah" to the initial proposal.
JM (who has skin in the game) tossed the initial proposal into the loo. That's why JM is who he is.

What "reputation" damage would KCB (or any lender) face for selling off Pride Center?
As a bank, it (among other banks) put customers' deposits at risk by lending to a bankrupt and corrupt organization.

The former CFO should be in jail. His subordinates are in court for fleecing KQ.
