The Banking cartles and CBK have ganged up against the biol, very sad day.
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!!!

The drumbeat to repeal continues!

The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has renewed its push for the scrapping of controls on the cost of loans, terming the current interest rates cap law as a drag on economic growth.
Governor Patrick Njoroge said Tuesday the limited access to credit was hitting small and medium-sized businesses hardest, yet they are key drivers of growth.
“There is a potential soft spot (in the economy). This concerns the micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). MSMEs are at the bottom of the pyramid. The MSMEs is where the employment is,” said Dr Njoroge at a media briefing in Nairobi following Monday’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting.
There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope

This is almost daily coverage on this topic. A couple of banks are updating their 2019 marketing strategy accordingly.

It's a question of sustainability. The pure digital lenders cannot take the larger risks that banks can take, regardless of their big data capabilities. That is still the purview of deposit taking institutions. I have looked at some of the numbers for these micro lenders and their overall returns are attrocious, if you factor in their true non performing loans book. Real People is a true and highly-representative example and publicly visible due to their public bond.

Labeling, shaming, name calling etc cannot change a law of nature. Risk vs returns will generally influence supply or lack of goods and services in the market.

This law should and must stay in place. It has afforded this country some clean up of financial reckless lending.

Bank execs were lending recklessly to firms that do not qualify aka nakumatt, deacons. When the music stopped, firms have gone down. The same reckless lending has been transfered to mobile loans.
