As is banks were making too much in FX. They need to work on volumes and products not spreads. The uptick in FDI, if any, should help banks make more from FX.

Wah!!! This is very serious! You mean after the value of assests held by banks grew by a mere 17.6% in 2023, in 2024 it dropped by a massive 1.6%!!?? And what's even more horrifying, there is a point before the 6!!!

People really need to avoid over exposure to the growing banks profitability and dividends!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

That's FX.
KES/USD from 130 to 160 hence the gains in (FX) assets in KES terms.
