As at yesterday (22.06.10); the total market value of Equity Bank was Kshs 87 Billion and that of Barclays Bank Kenya was Kshs 82 Billion.

Now suppose you had Kshs 90 Billion and had the option of purchasing one of these banks to have 100% shareholding, which purchase would you make?

Equity to sell in three years, or bbk to keep for as long as england is ruled by a monarch.

@m2c & sparkly, why not start your own bank?

Financial plan as follows:
Core Capital (1bn), Systems (2bn), Licences (100m), Branches & furniture (100m), poaching staff from other banks (500m)

Use balance 87.2bn as a deposit in the new bank and start making money!

Investment banking is ever better than this.

Barclays. Because of their history, international network and (in my opinion) BBK will be least affected by national politics.

BBI will solve it :)

If choice is between Equity & BBK, only a dumbass would buy BBK. Little or no upside

I remember a few years ago when your favourite phrase 'dumbass' was used to describe people who were buying Apple shares in the States. Those 'dumbasses' are now 1000% richer. Read my signature below...

@stat... it would take an eternity to build a brand like Barclays.

The chances of hitting it big like EB are slim.
