CBR and inflation - downwards, tbills upwards, NSE bullish, USDKES steady, GoK C/A still wide. Very mixed signals.

Money markets up, equities up - I guess this is a KE trend, very peculiar d'oh!


@hisah do U see the U.S 'fiscal cliff' giving us a break on the C/A as far as oil is concerned? From the MPC statement oil/fuel prices appear the remaining thorn in the inflation flesh.


Am hoping commercial banks will reduce their interest rates asap

Banks have been very mum on this development... seems they don't want to lower the lending rates to protect their Q4 interest income.

I also agree with buying banks. They always seem to win the war on lending rates and it is obvious most people can't do without debts.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

Both equities and bonds do well during the period of a declining CBR... This has been very evident in 2012!

One of The biggest holders of bonds and equities are insurance companies!

for example in 2012 Kenya re has made a whopping 400million in capital gains from their 1% holding in KCB!

no need for alarm because i think It is a reasonable move considering the CBR has been lowered 700bps in 2012!

Exporters also need some relief... Sad

Trade deficit plus money supply, I'm still skeptical how inflation will be held sub 5% through 2013.

@hisah it is no ones intention to keep inflation below 5%... Actually we are way below the CBKs target of 9%!

Money supply is checked. M3 curve this year is not as steep as that seen last year

M3 Statistics 'Kshs Billions'
Jan 2011; 1,285
Oct 2011; 1,514
Growth; 17.8%

Jan 2012; 1,506
Oct 2012; 1,703
Growth; 13.1%

See the graph here (page 9) http://www.knbs.or.ke/news/lei102012.pdf

And the economy is looking up >> Treasury projects 5.1pc growth in GDP by year end
