On 27th August 2017, Dominic Omondi published a long, mostly incoherent, and error infested article in the Sub Standard. It caught my attention due to the title he opted to give it: WHAT INVESTORS DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT KENYA'S MIDDLE CLASSSource LINK:Personally, I believe a more fitting title would have been: Why Kenians Are Not Shopping For Cars In New Car ShowroomsHe did, however, raise a few issues regarding the interest rate cap. Could someone help me understand what he means by the assertion quoted below? Indulge me if you would. Quote:But financial analysts such as (Corporate Finance Manager at ABC Capital Johnson) Nderi insist that with heightened regulations against lenders
- the latest being a new financial reporting standard that requires lenders to provision for loans based on predicted losses –
borrowers will be (are being) ultra-vetted for their ability to repay.

borrowers will be (are being) ultra-vetted for their ability to repay. The new standard is more stringent on the recognition and reporting of bad debts...right now banks are holding on and still reporting lots of loans that are not serviced regularly as potential interest earners..not with the new standard, such will go to the write off territory. It will hit P/Ls badly. Caveat: I explained the 'common man -g gist of it' that came away from the winded technical version from an expert. I could be off the mark, I am sure a wazuan expert will climb down from the mists of a hangover and do a better job

Not all the loans have the cars as collateral. Sometimes the car you are buying is in Japan by the time you are applying for the loan. For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases ~ WB

This article claiming that car sale is low because bank has refused to finance purchases/loans is misplaced. My bank keeps on sending emails on car asset finance. It is now a norm for individuals and business to blame everything on rate-cap. Reflection Eternal

In 2016, mortgage loan accounts decreased by 1.5 percent from 24,458 to 24,085 after commercial banks tightened credit standards while the average mortgage size increased by 9% from KShs. 8.3 million in 2015 to KShs. 9.1 million in 2016 as a result of increasing property prices.

CBK Governor finally decides - off the window it has to goQuote:
“What needs to change is the discipline among lending institutions. They cannot go ahead setting interest rates the way they were doing before. And it is our job to deal with them in the context of that market discipline,” he said. Dr Njoroge said preliminary findings of a joint study with the Treasury on the impact of the rates capping on growth of credit had confirmed a negative impact.
“I think it is clear to us that this (rate cap) has been problematic in many ways. What I cannot tell you is the path going forward (and) how this will happen,” Dr Njoroge said.
“All I can tell you is that it is in our interest as a country. It is in our interest as a central bank to work to reverse these measures and go back to a regime where interest rates are freely determined, but in a disciplined environment, Dr Njoroge said.

Banks get more agressive on reposessions. However getting buyers is an equally tough task for the auctioneers. link 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.

If the banks are doing this badly and yet they are earning alot from lending to the government at high rates, what if the lending to the government becomes not too attractive I wonder how HF will recover seeing that real estate is badly hit
