Ofcourse, CBK has not even adopted Basel 2 so we have a long way to go... I don't get the use of Basel 3 if 100% understanding, much less implementation, of Basel 2 is still rocket science in certian pockets in the West. Coming in the wake of the financial crisis in the west it will tighten regulation so much there that bank management will not manage a decent fart without the regulator's say-so that they can let it out slow and easy and exhale. Maybe they need to anchor State bailout in the financial reforms seeing its a reality anyway and its played a pivotal role in restoring sanity in the markets. To confirm finally that varying degrees of capitalism and socialise are err..strange bedfellows than can actually co-exist together happily ever after - remember the USSA (United Socialist States States of America) tag? http://www.basel-iii-accord.com/

If kcb puts a call option for its bondholders, won't it be equivalent to deleveraging? Wouldn't it make more sense for normal companies that are not banks to use this tool as they could find themselves with excess funds in the future? “We are the middle children of history man, no purpose or place.

So u need to buy KCB 'cheap' & wait till it takes off... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - *to paraphrase Warren Buffett*

I was just wondering who or which local institution would spend about 350m in one morning on one counter and I couldn't help but wonder if NSSF is fully back on board... BBI will solve it :)
