The CBK data shows that savers with more than Sh100,000 in their bank accounts dropped to 1,445, 590 last year, down from 1,583,000 in 2017 — the first fall since 2006 when the regulator began making such deposit data public. repeal of rate cap did not solve the problem and the lowest interest rate since the 80s has not stopped the default on loans. People still broke Quote:Banks have cut the cost of credit to levels last seen in the early 1980s and reduced appetite to extend credit to high-risk borrowers in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic that has raised defaults to a 13-year high. Latest Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) data shows that lending rates fell to an average of 11.75 percent in September following a consistent drop in the regulator’s benchmark lending rate. This is the lowest average lending rate since the CBK started disclosing the rate in July 1991 during the reign of the then Moi-era governor Eric Kotut and matches annual borrowing costs disclosed by the World Bank in 1980. The drop has eased fears of a rise in the cost of credit after the removal of the interest rate cap last November following pressure from banks and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The removal of the legal cap led to fears of a likely return to the era of high cost of loans, which had at one point hit 25 percent. https://www.businessdail...vel-since-1980s-3209128
The low interest rate is artificial Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

The low interest rate is artificial If CRB scoring is tinkered with by government interference as anticipated by the new administration, expect return of high rates. Dawa ya deni ni kulipa. You don't get listed if you repay on time, the 15m Kenyans stated as being on CRB, know well how it happened. Yes downturns do happen, but that cannot be on all the 15m people. There's a bad borrowing culture

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 Another one down.. HF is likely to be eaten up by Equity Smaller banks will continue to fold. NBK towel thrown in. The sector is halfway done with the M&A action First Community Bank
