Guys i am bit surprised with coments after comments hailing the super bank profits

do you not see that this 100bln has come out of our pockets due to lack of proper controls between deposit rate and lending rate , at present bank are payin you 4% on deposits but they are charging 16%on loans thats 400 %percent profits on cost of goods

Does all this sound ok ?


Think of it this way that were the lending rates in line with international best practices your car loan instalment would be down by at least 50% pecent of what you are paying now the same goes for your house mortgage it would be down 50% than what you are paying now over 20 years


Guys please pull out the pens and lets fight to bring the lending rates down to 6% or lets bring back the donde bill lets save ourselves this 100BLN overcharge done by the banks

Agreed.
Meanwhile, mitigate against the crazy interest rates by buying bank shares so that you earn dividends and reap capital gains.

I wish the rates could increase to 30%, I am a total capitalist with all my portfolio pegged on banks.

Really?Laughing out loudly

That is just hilarious... the industry is so different the comparison is just funny.

I trust that if you were made CEO of one of the big banks you wouldn't take customers' deposits + shareholders capital and lend at circa 9%?

How would they pay your big salary?
What would be your plan / strategy?
What good would come out of it? There are better ways of doing CSR.

The point is that the money market is a bit more complex and is not dependent on banks alone...

We have a few options though...
1. Get a job at a bank and borrow @4% Drool
2. Stop using our bank account as an investment vehicle, put any extra cash to good use... NSE, Investment banks, Savings plan, plots...
3. If you are a business person and you need cheap capital... do a proper plan and go to an investment bank to get an equity / debt partner. Its a long shot but its the way things are supposed to be done.

Most importantly....

On debt, the micro finance institutions were supposed to be a bridge between banks and the SMEs.... these days, their(at least most of them) rates are higher than the banks'......

Haiya! Yet these same chaps 'happy' with the insane margins banks make... are complaining about the kadogo margin KenolKobil made?
