How is anybody gotten a loan at a lower rate than 14.5% (now 14%)? What about an unsecured loan? Sehemu ndio nyumba

A great time to be alive. Everyone preaching doom and gloom,so I believe my questions will be well fought out for: 1. What are the actual effects of brexit,both pro and anti? I am yet to see any document on the same and especially from anti-brexiters who predicted collapse of britain as opposed to europe. - Brexit has not yet been effected. UK is still part of the Eurozone 2. In this instance,if banks do not loan out monies to wananchi,and gava decides to do another eurobond,who will they loan put to? (Obviously a bank will rise and take up those angry with their banks for some funny rules on their accounts,saccos still have lower interest while they came up due to the same banks shafting customers on loans. My two cents) - Saccos can never meet the demand. The only choice will be loan sharks3. Government is now getting quite cheap money. Would banks not loaning money to citizens willing to take them then bid as low as 7% margin on money they're giving out to gava? Would that make business sense? - It does make business sense as it is risk free to lend to gava4. If citizens ignore banks just for fun in terms of not taking loans,wont banks deploy en-masse to woo every tom dick and harry to avoid going into loss making territory? - Depends on how much the citizens prefer the loan sharks5. What of NPLs so far since bill was signed? What are the changes seen so far on banks? More questions to follow in due time - No change Mark 12:29

One more thing, people taking loans should know that if (of course in my head I am saying when) the rate caps are removed/the law repealed, the new rates will apply immediately and to old loans too as it happened this time round. Talk about a knife that cuts both ways. Those old enough will remember the big sufuria a neighbour gave to Abunuasi and he returned it together with a small one and he told the neighbour his sufuria had given birth. The next time Abunuasi borrowed the big sufuria he did not return it. He told the neighbour it had died. And there is nowhere the neighbour could take him because it was proved that anything that can give birth can also die. Moral of the story: Take loans but if your loan goes to 2018 and beyond, you had better have a plan on how you will clear the loan if (when!) the law is repealed and rates go through the roof. Or you can dismiss my advice as wishful thinking and borrow as much as you want without a quick emergency exit plan. It is a free country. And I could also be wrong you know! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Kenya central bank: commercial bank lending may be hit by cap on rates - Reuters News
NAIROBI, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Kenya's cap on commercial bank lending rates is complicating monetary policy and, alongside a cut in the benchmark interest rate, may lead to a decrease in commercial bank lending, the Kenya central bank governor said Wednesday.
Those borrowers deemed to be higher risk are likely to find it more difficult to secure loans after the central bank cut its key lending rate by half a percentage point or 50 basis points to 10 percent on Tuesday, Patrick Njoroge told a new conference.
(Reporting by George Obulutsa; Editing by Katharine Houreld)
As I said earlier, The Governor of Central Bank must be one pissed off Kenyan. He was totally against rate capping and he wrote a very elaborate piece in the Business Daily (I believe) before the law was signed explaining why rate capping is NOT a good idea. Then the president signs the bill into law despite his advice, treasury's advice and the advice of all none political advisor and you tell him to implement the law. I am sure were it not for his love of the country, he would have resigned! He is not in this for money after all. But I am sure he fears if he leaves we might have (a) Kiunjuri as the next Governor of Central Bank and the economy might just go to the dogs. He probably believes he can contribute more/better from the inside, but don't be fooled, the guy is pissed off!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

This might not be politically correct to say but when push comes to shove, banks are more important than you!! Pole. Greece - See how much went to the banks and how much went to the 'citizens'Saving American Banks that screwed themselves!!!And mind you, according to an article published by forbes in July 2015 quoting The Special Inspector General of TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program), the $700 Billion is just a tip of the iceberg!! The total commitment of government to the ongoing bailout program is $16.8 Trillion dollars and $4.6 trillion had already been paid out by July last year. In Kenya, if all that is required is to repeal the law, it will be done before breakfast!!! Never count on making a good sale.

Did you get the Abunuasi story??? If the new lower rates applied to old loans, why wouldn't the new higher rates not apply to old loans. And if you are not on a fixed rate loan, it goes without saying that your rate can vary. And it has always done - including scenarios where it went up to 28% some time back. You don't expect your loan rate to change from 18% to 14.5% and now 14% imagining it cannot move the other direction - to 25% in January 2018. The courts will not help you here!!!
