IN SUMMARY
On Tuesday September 20, Bank of Uganda Governor Prof Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile called an impromptu meeting at his office, which excluded senior management staff, to discuss interest rate caps.
About seven executives attended Prof Tumusiime-Mutebile’s meeting, including representatives from Stanbic Bank, PricewaterhouseCoopers Uganda, the East African Development Bank, Uganda Revenue Authority and the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development.
Prof Mutebile raised objections to interest rate caps, arguing that they could escalate distortions in the credit market, trigger blackmarket activity and deny many borrowers access to credit, according to a source who attended the meeting Enough said!!! But if you listen to some people here, apparently everyone who has some Finance and Economics knowledge is wrong on this issue! And people who know zilch are correct!!! Fait Accompli. What is done is done, for Kenya Banksters at least (in the short term). @MaichBlack if you were at the helm of a Kenyan bank (or in a strategic management position) and kept on with this pointless attitude of railing at unstoppable political forces instead of getting down and dealing with a business environment that has changed, you would lose your job. For Uganda, it is the ominous shot across the bow. By admitting to being under intense pressure, the gov. is telling the banksters to tame their greed or the politicians will tame it for them. He is saying, look across the border, no one thought it could happen but that reality could soon visit us. When you have your boot on millions of necks, fancy demand-supply and other monetary theories will not cut it. It is the caving-the-heads-in-with-a-rungu theory that takes over, damn the consequences. The saying 'beware of a cornered animal' keeps going over the heads of these disconnected and pampered bankers. My friend, why do you have selective memory??? Look at my posts after the signing. I am busy taking advantage of the fallout and getting rich. Niko kwa soko ndugu!!! But that doesn't stop me from commenting on threads and especially when there is a current story where the good professor in Uganda is of a similar opinion as myself just like the good Dr. in Kenya both of whom happen to be at the helm of Central Banks in their countries. But I apologise if I stepped on toes of some ignant characters. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

what is your experience in trying to get a loan?
I have an existing 5 year loan with a bank. But when i approached them for a new loan, they said they are only giving loans for a term of 6 months
That they are still working on new products which they will have by next month

My KCB Mpesa limit precapping was 7,500 but now it has been slashed to a meer 1,800. Mshwari has by contrast increased. Iam yet to speak to my bankers to confirm the status of other products. However being a net borrower, I have benefited immensly from the rate cap. I can't speak much about the future but savings of over 20K in interest per month aint bad at all. If the banks freeze lending and I am repaying the principal faster, I say, "why not suspend my projects", after all like buses, a new investment will always be waiting when time and money are both rightly available. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

It has been a whole week and none of the "there will be no credit crunch" brigade has said anything!!! Hey fellas, please say something!!! Never count on making a good sale.

That they are still working on new products which they will have by next month In a bar talk, I heard a banker say that if you are the type who has less than 4 transactions p.m( 1 deposit aka salary payment and 3 withdrawals ), you should try getting a loan from shylocks as they are now risk profiling customers. If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

That they are still working on new products which they will have by next month That must be barclays. Move right away. They are not lending unsecured loans and they have stopped issuing credit cards. Move over to the two big boys KCB and COOP. For coop I can confirm here they have a crazy appetite for lending. Their monthly disbursements have grown 5-fold. Mostly ex-barclays customers. ION, can you imagine barclays used to be the market leader ? Now they are quickly exiting the top ten club.
