We are still in the early days so don't worry govt will pay MAkiba. We still have favourable winds i.e. the dollar is still in weakening phase, US inflation still yet to pick up. The fan is just warming up. For wanjiku the thing is to stay in touch with your rural folks they become a source of cheap food once inflation picks up. I reckon stocks will hedge against inflation better than forex.

Coupled with the expected dry out of inflows into a currency that is losing ground, the NSE will be in winter season. The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

The repricing is really what will keep food on the table for a middle class wanjiku. There are no fundamentals for a bull run electricity and cement consumption growth rates already show weakness.

KCB CEO Oigara “We are willing to give up some sector limits. For instance, mortgage rates to students straight after campus can be capped at certain levels. This model works in other markets. It can work here too.”
Just wondering how many Students (New graduates) takes up mortgages. Can he put something sensible on the table.

This is like some of those promises we make to kids, if they get more than specific marks in their performance. Knowing fully well the kid has zilch potential to attain the said grades....

Even the bankers know that they were profiteering
