Down 14%


I thought BBK laid off a considerably huge number of staff in the past 3 years? Or which costs are they talking about. The second thing I didn't understand is this line "cut its dividend in order to build up capital in line with the central bank's new requirements". BBK doesn't have enough capital to comply??? Is that even possible? I need to urgently sell off this stock.

Theres one-off
restructuring cost of Sh 788M.

There was an article in BD a few weeks ago that Barclays was reaching its lending limits due to its minuscule core capital viz its customer appetite for borrowing
All in all since the share split almost 5 years ago,it has struggled to go past ksh 18.If i remember well i exited at ksh 13.5 some years ago just after the split.

BBK profits hit by "one-off" restructuring costs. In the last 4yrs that statement has appeared thrice!!!

How many times are they restructuring... Shame on you Liar
