what other business will they be doing if they stop taking deposits and lending? they will stop being banks? maybe just maybe they will stop undermining the role of the CRBs now They will lend to those who have proven that they can pay, and fund projects. Note there are people who get loans at 11 and 12%. Banks can team up and finance some of the large projects etc The small time borrowers eg, those who take up loans to buy proboxes and subarus, those who take up loans to set up exhibitions, mpango wa salo, flexi salo, bla bla - going....

Anyway if they deny these group loans and fund development projects, then well and good for the economy. The ripple effect will still be felt in the long run by all in the economy when the development project start operations!!! In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience.

and don't ask your bank , just eft the total amount to your loan account. 90% of 0 = 0
Either way things are facing down...read my lips So which Bank would refinance your loan at 14.5% p.a. with your questionable land title? Point us in that direction... Mark 12:29

Boss stop with your hypothetical scenarios. Which are these large projects which did not exist yesterday. Banks already favour lending to large corporates so nothing new here. Banks had profit targets yesterday and still have profit targets today, they are not interested in sticking it to wanjiku, so in deciding on who to lend they will follow the same due diligence they have in the past, if one qualifies, they will lend at a rate below the ceiling, period.

what other business will they be doing if they stop taking deposits and lending? they will stop being banks? maybe just maybe they will stop undermining the role of the CRBs now They will take deposits and lend, but at a reduced pace, to good quality borrowers.Basically credit expansion will contract,which in itself is terrible for this economy which is on its knees. To stay afloat banks will increase their transaction fees and cut operation costs by laying off staff etc

Unlike many who post out of panic, my take is the banks will immediately start looking to shore up the lost earnings from high interest rates.
Bankers have been very lazy in the way they allocate their capital, they have been getting free money from wanjiku and lending to the govt, with the other bit lent to corporates they can and anything left lent to SME's and Wanjiku and margin spreads of over 18%. The expensive loans have been used to average up the interest return/sh at say 14%
This changes now, banks will want to maintain their current average interest income return per shilling atleast coz they have to pay higher interest expense. The best way to do this is to lend to wanjiku at CBR+4% and leave out the lending to govt which was at CBR-?%
The govt will therefore have to source for funds from elsewhere.
Great bill, everyone wins. You are looking at everything upside down.Banks take deposits so that they can lend,if they cannot lend or invest the money in government securities,then,they would decline to take the deposit.Previously they would just offer a lower rate of interest for those deposits and life would go on.This discretion has been removed with the bill.So now is take it or leave it,there is nothing in between. So banks don't have to lend if they feel they are going to lose their money and consequently don't have to take deposits if there is no one to lend to. @moneydust, uko poa kweli  They must find it difficult....... those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority. -G. Massey.

This was the pecking order in the banking sector in 2001.
1. Barclays
2. Stanchart
3. KCB
4. NBK
5. Coop bank
Then Kibaki happened and everything was turned on its head.
Let those threatening to stop lending do so.
I can already see at least three of the top five who are on their way out of the top 5.
There was a time I was working in a CiT company. Wells Fargo had the best clients I.e. all the big banks and the like.
Then Michuki issued an order that every cit van must be accompanied by a chase car. While most companies pondered how to implement the new directive, G4S signed a contract for chase cars with a taxi company on the same day.
Within two days, even banks that hadn't contracted them were calling begging for services.
The only species that survives, is the one that adapts to change fastest.
