Any finance/economics guy will tell it would be a tragedy to individual loan seekers and SMEs.
Interest rates among other things depend on the risk profile of the client. If the rate is capped, the banks would focus on the least risky customers first - the government and blue chip companies. SMEs and individuals would follow if there is money left.

And why would I want to lend to 10,000 entities Kshs. 100,000/= each while there is a single entity (with a better risk profile) that is willing to take the entire billion???


Link: Exactly as I had said earlier. This is Finance/Economics 101. Pure common sense!!!


@maichblack. I dont see the Econ 101 you are referring to on this link. just a plea from an industry lobbyist. have you read the comments to the nonsense written by Habil Olaka. Basically what I have been saying here all along but from a wiser public grouping.

Aki bankers are liars. There is nothing like lending to a high risk borrower. Which bank in Kenya ever gives money to a borrower while doubting their ability to pay. In fact charging high interest is increasing chances of defaulting.

Unless we are talking about the vulture-nature of lenders who lend to persons who cant re-pay so that they can auction their property. That is now over.

1. Bankers are crying wolf like former TELPOSTA employees at the introduction of mobile phones.

2.The same happened with Michuki rules. So called analysts warned of increase in fares. That did not really happen. Bado kuna trip za 10bob.

3. This was the same cry regarding MPESA and Mshwari.

I wish somebody can do something about high land prices...despite being an agent. Even some wives (over)charge for landing....conditions wazimu wazimu.

Fact: Kenyans are over-charged for everything, including prayers in some churches.

Individuals, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) who are presumed to have a higher risk of defaulting will be locked out from accessing credit if the Bill becomes law, the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) said Thursday.

But apparently as far as some are concerned, there are no consequences and The Central Bank is just imagining stuff like the rest of us!!!

Fuel prices are regulated. We have seen some stability in the prices no fuel rationing has occurred. I think it's are good bill as a bank customer. There are Saccos and MFIs to compete with banks if banks sidelines small borrowers.

He will never ever cut his own profit. Kenya is a capitalist state and in capital state the economy decides it's equilibrium. You can't force an economic equilibrium by set laws. Works well in communist state like Ethiopia .so hii kitu hakuna Mahali inaenda

This is not about uhunye protecting his interests in CBA but it's common sense......It is a bad idea to cap interest rates-they are beter ways to reduce the rates if the govt is keen to.

freedom,freedom,freedom as a shareholder i want to see my bank with the independence in lending so that when it goes under they don't give excuses ,this is a very bad and dangerous law when combined with the current NPL's within the banking sector it can wipeout bank profits by a quarter or even half and cause unrest and public panic

Which are this other methods everyone keeps talking about and why has Treasury/CBK not applied them to the sector.

It is this failure by the CBK/Treasury to tame rates that has now forced the legislature to come up with this law

By the way interest rates caps of one form or another do exist in South Africa, India, Bangladesh.

In the US, France and even UK, caps do exist to check Usurious and predatory lenders. Our entire financial system is predatory and need to be checked through such caps.
