KBBR - 8.9% from 9.87%


Good for the economy.
Challenge is the transmission of the reduction to the ultimate borrowers as the lenders are always reluctant to reduce their lending rates.
Infact, most lenders will review their 'k' factor upwards to retain their total rate constant.
CBK needs a way to also regulate/monitor the 'k' factor movement if at all the reduction is to be effectively transmitted.

Humbly disagree. CBK has done it's part. It is for me and you (market forces) to punish the wayward lenders by taking our business to the most competitive.

If you can visit 30 bazaars before buying a car, why not visit the same number of banks and compare their offering before borrowing?


"If banks don't reduce their interest rates within 30 days from Today, some penalties will have to be enforced."

"We'll pressure them to lower their lending rates. I'm sure not too many banks will be willing to go head to head with the regulator."

Some of the comments from CBK Gov. press conference yesterday. Just wondering what reduction in rates he will deem respectable....


For a bank currently offering rates of 23%, if it cuts by a "whopping" 4%, they will still be charging an arm and a leg...19% when compared to those lenders currently doing it at 14%.

Still too high....


Should be 8%, places like Kiash's and Gulf its a mere 4%.

If the BIG bankd refuse to lend SMEs (as argued) then small medium banks will sprout out to fil the vacuum.

Cbr is now a hot potato. By virtue of becoming the peg for interest rates, juggling it will be a most tortuous exercise for the CBK.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.
