The law won’t be reversed


I back @obiero on this based on one aspect that the CS said, and which was poorly edited by media..." and repeal or reform an 18-month-old cap on bank lending rates that has resulted in a massive fall in loans to the private sector."

Rink 2



As the ceo of kcb mentioned last week. They would be ok if it was reformed to exclude the private sector or and applied selectively. And from what I have read in the media, it seems this was a key prequisite from IMF. So either way happy days for those long on bank stocks

See the excuses and finger pointing ^^ even though it was always obvious that the caps would go after the elections.

Partial reversal of the cap now almost guaranteed with a Uhuru win

This financial rally is on steroids


>Banks will make money

>>>Those waiting for banks to loan them at 14% without pricing risk....well...they shall continue waitingsmile .


Even if it's not repealed investors in banking stocks will receive generous dividend payouts. Banks don't need all that capital on their books. KCB and Stanbic have already shown the way

Good times ahead for the large banks. Expect more M&A action on the smaller banks

Kenyan Banks among the world's most profitable LINK
Does this confirm the clamour for repealing this law is driven by nothing but greed for super profits

The law was not about checking profitability of banks. It was about making credit affordable. Unfortunately, they did not foresee how it would affect credit availability. A free market economy operates on a willing buyer willing seller principle. You cannot force a seller to trade, otherwise you get shortages of goods and services. Ask coffee farmers and the infamous law prohibiting uprooting coffee trees...
