I have been watching Member for a while now and he has refused to come down below 50 for me to load more. Question is this Mbus worth riding @51 Bob for short term gain (1 year) or is it profit taking session.

Am riding this bus till it sets up shop in Nigeria and the Ethiopians open up banking for Member to go in

We will reap big from the construction of the standard gauge railway,this project requires banks with a large balance sheet and equity is already in talks with all the contractors for financing agreements we can't wait to see the growth when the projects gains motion...says J.m

1) The Chinese are financing it and building it so why the need for local financing? What GoK is financing has and will be raised from the Eurobond & Infrastructure Bonds. Whereas ALL banks can/will buy the infrastructure bonds, banks prefer lending at much higher rates/spreads to the private sector.

2) There may be some local financing for some local firms but the Chinese will probably find a way into this market as well. They have trillions of $$$ so why not venture into this sector? It is only a matter of time until a Chinese Bank buys into a local bank.

Real value in the short term comes from ancillary industries that can spring up around the SGR construction. Hopefully, this results in skills transfer that leads to long-term benefits.

Chinese are financing but all sub contractor's can only be paid after they have undertaken their work using their finances, you can't imply that the Chinese will lend money to everybody infact most of that chinese money will land in our local banks, even the gvt,'s stake will be paid to contractors who have already spent their own money to deliver their work

Contractors paid for work done and certified so they have to either use retained earnings or short term loans. The Chinese banks will not handle local lending but just lend to the China based companies which will look for funds in China then come spend it here.
China banks already have a HUGE Asian market especially India with a billion people why come to unstable Africa before handling Asian countries next door first

Well, China's construction [& many, many others] firms are already in 'unstable' Africa. And through (20%) Stanbic, China's largest bank is already in 'unstable' Africa.

The present black Africa is not similar to the largely unstable ungovernable gvts we had in the 90s. We have a large growing middle class and fairly competitive democracies. For you to leap from upcoming growth, you must invest in Africa now. China knows that.

Of course they can add a default risk premium to Africa higher than that charged to US or say India.
