I mean that it was a political response to IMF that will not garner real political support in the House. To repeal it cannot be via twitter feeds, this thing is hardcoded in wanjiku who prefers no debt to the mercinary rates that were being bandied by Kenyan banks It should be mercenary. The problem emanates from attending shithole schools where a young bugger used to receive instructions under a tree inside squalid makeshift structures. It was written.. MPs will not support the amendment via orders from above! Anyone still waiting for a repeal? Bank margins continue being squeezed via the main income line being lending.. It's not easy for the Kenyan financial industry right now. Expect more consolidation Watch and learn. No MP will risk loosing the next term https://www.businessdail...1546-ki208bz/index.html
I think the opposite will happen,the bill to repeal/ammend the interest rates cap law will sail through Already the signs are ominous.. Talk to your legislative friends, if you have any The rate cap is here to stay.. Remember DP said he needs single digit lending rates, an idea Raila believes in too.. The government cannot afford higher rates... possunt quia posse videntur

This is where the capping interest rates has landed us  Quote:The popularity of Shylock dens in Nairobi is usually fueled by lengthy and tiring procedures in obtaining a loan from mainstream financial institutions. But, thanks to the advent of mobile banking, formal banks have also lunged into shylocking eyeing the good returns in this niche market. They have since unveiled a number products targeting this growing market segment. For commercial banks, there is M-Shwari, sponsored by Kenya Commercial Bank, KCB M-Pesa in partnership with Safaricom and M-Co-op Cash managed by Cooperative Bank and Timiza by Barclays Bank- all targeting this lucrative informal market.

Quote:According to the Central Bank Financial Market Stability report, as at March 2017, the volume of new mobile loans approved monthly by commercial banks had increased by 53 per cent, while the value of new mobile loans approved monthly increased by 81 per cent.

I wonder why Equity Bank has been left behind in this lucrative market? In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

Cost of money aka interest rates has increased substantially since the advent of the caps. The big beneficiary has been GoK and at the expense of the private sector thereby increasing the crowding out effect as the latter was already sickly from poor macros. Waiting for this to show up in the NPLs column and illiquidity of banks balance sheets. The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

Loser also because of slow growth/reduced tax collection Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

COOP & HF will come out strongest in this.. Too little meat to be bitten out from the two. Plus HF has never been strong on deposits being only licensed to have current accounts a few months ago!! HF will have the least interest expense of all listed lenders Hey @Obiero. Bill not signed. And please note I did not put the word 'yet' at the end. Its bound to be signed on Monday 29th Aug 2016 The bankers will visit statehouse with big brown envelop and this story will be forgotten. Smaller banks will fold Here we are... Family fires it's staff https://citizentv.co.ke/...fs-to-cut-costs-143841/
and then Sidian lays off 108 workers http://www.businessdaily...9550-3428588-151f209z/, then Ecobank collapses 9 branches http://www.businessdaily...6506-316lohz/index.html
First Community Bank let go of a quarter of its staff http://www.the-star.co.k...osed-number-of_c1451638
And now BoA closes 12 branches. Sad state of affairs http://www.businessdaily...2926-jp394sz/index.html
Sidian, NBK, Family, HF, NIC struggling.. Small banks shall fold The goose is cooked for NBK NBK has 9 lives,it was supposed to go down even before Dubai bank but its still standing. @whiteowl NBK in its current form and shape cannot survive.. It must be absorbed by a real bank. Smaller banks must close shop unless the caps are reversed http://www.nation.co.ke/...9774-14pykoy/index.html
Boom boom pow. Small banks have nowhere to turn

Where in the world do commercial banks makes 30 billion profits and pay 1.5% pa interest on deposits?
Its only invetsment banks which can make such weird profits since most of them are actually pyranid schemes and cons...they quicly derate a country from AA+ to say C in a midnight then go behind door and buy the falling goverment papers in that same country, then after a year or two, they would elevate the country from C to A+, sell the papers and go home laughing.
For commercial banks like KCB and Equity, this is not their core buisness, so how how they manage those billion-profits is a mystery.
Thank you for being so informative!!!
