And is is true that the IPO funds will be re-invested in the bank?or is Kagame going to buy Russian jets too with the cash. Aargh! Just wait for the prospectus.

The East African

Why Kigali’s stretched banks need IPO money

http://www.theeastafrican.co.ke...2560/1189086/-/a5tqec/-/

Quote:
The bank’s precarious financial position highlights the importance of its upcoming initial public offering — set for June 30 — through which it hopes to secure long term funds to grow its lending business amid rising competition in the industry.


Quote:
Competition in Rwanda’s banking sector is set to intensify as Kenya’s Equity Bank — which has cut itself a niche in retail lending in East Africa — enters the market by the end of this year; after KCB.

That article is PATHETIC... Banks need deposits to lend. That is their core business. The jamaa makes it sound like harnessing deposits to lend is NOT the business of a bank!


@VVS, Its true the core business of banks is intermediation. However, they also need long term funds (like BK is seeking through IPO) to address assets liability maturity mismatch
That can be achieved by other sources including changing the maturity profile of the deposits/loans. Shareholder Funds [Share Capital] is almost perpetual while Loans typically are not.

Changing the maturity profile of the deposits and loans is the most ideal way of addressing assets liability maturity mismatch. However, practically its not easy to change those. A large amount of banks deposits are held as demand deposits. Most fixed deposit receipts (FDRs) are for a period of less than 1 year. Very few FDRs run for more than 1 year. Apart from overdrafts, most bank loans run for more than 3 years with most home loans running for more than 10 years. To address this complex assets liability mismatch, most banks are forced to take long term loans (under tier 2 capital) or increase share capital (tier 1 capital)

Just like @Cde, I am waiting for the IM to get a clear picture of this offer

EA Banks are allowed 15x deposits vs their core shareholder funds [variations exist] so the mismatch will continue unless the so-called 'long-term' lending is dramatically curtailed.

Even the 10yr loans are not really 10yr loans when you consider duration. I do not want to explain duration here but please google it & much better explanations can be found online.

So due to its heavy reliance on deposits to grow its loan book is it worth investing in the shares?? Also to keep in mind will be able to compete with equity bank once it enters Rwanda??
