[quote=Ericsson]Equity group ends discussion with Atlas Mara group on acquisition of Atlas businesses in Rwanda,Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique. https://mobile.twitter.c...310542861799424/photo/1[/quote] There must be something fishy with those assets that Equity has been so hesitant to buy ever since last year as compared to BCDC bank in DRC which was a done deal really fast...... My take is that Equity should first make their TZ subsidiary bigger and more profitable before going further down south. KCB and DTB are profitable in TZ so it's not impossible.

That's why we love King James. This was a sober decision esp because those banks were already loss-making, now with covid..imagine paying the same price. Nah

I think the DRC deal was easier since it was a single bank in a single market and will be integrated into Equity DRC vs buying several small banks in new markets. The latter takes more work, injecting capital, integration, etc. Perhaps not the time to do so but certainly something to think about in the future to become a pan-african bank.

It has been been almost 7 years in Tanzania and barely any growth over the past 4 years. It has been in losses in 2018, 2019 and start 2020 with a fat decline (-30%) in the top line revenue. KCB with an equally sized footprint in Tanzania was bringing in close to Ksh1 billion PBT from TZ unit. Equity need to rethink strategy and overhaul management there.
