Am sure KCB, Coop and NBK will organize and see Rotich and then they will get 'permanent' waivers for the accounts they hold - supported by CBK. Watch this space. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

This takes us back to the initial question of how much profit is enough. Why would a parastatal be keen to purchase bonds rather than improve livelihoods

Partick Njoroge the CBK Governor very clearly says the caps have brought us nothing but trouble. Our continued keeping of the law amounts to continued shooting of ourselves in the foot. A no-brainer right from the word go. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has renewed push for a repeal of the law capping interest rates, which it says is having a negative effect on the economy.Quote:“So far the interest rate caps have been acting as a break to the economy,” Dr Njoroge said. “The economy is being held back by this. This is something that we need to bring to the fore and deal with so as to support rather than inhibit economic dynamism.”
However Dr Njoroge said unlocking the credit crunch is a prerequisite for economic growth in 2018.
He is bullish on the economic prospects in 2018 projecting growth of around 6.2 per cent. Isuni yilu yi maa me muyo - ni Mbisuu

Repealing the law not happening any time soon. The Governor can as well increase the CBR to 16% so as to fix the interest rates at 20%.

The banks have deliberately refused to lend, sabotaging the economy so that they justify the rate cap as the cause. Even more infuriating is the banks haven't put an alternative policy on how they will self regulate when it comes to interest rates. Greed for super profits is all they want and care about..
Why have they not come up with policies where Low risk
Borrowers with good credit rating get loans at rates like 10% or less. While risky borrowers pay higher rates?
In UK for instance, you can borrow for as little as 2% and for as high as 3600%
It all depends on ones credit worthiness
In Kenya however, every Dick Tom and Harry are gauged with the same yard stick. Because of the utter ineptness and laziness the bankers. Meaning good creditors are made to offset the banks losses from defaulters and bad creditors
Those here on wazua attacking the interest rate cap are nothing but shareholders desperate for a bumper dividends

You are right on the need for interest rates based on the borrower's credit rating. However there is a limit to how low the rates can go. Perhaps this might help you understand some of the reasons the UK and Kenya cannot have the same rates... https://tradingeconomics...d-kingdom/inflation-cpi
https://tradingeconomics.com/kenya/inflation-cpi
This is just one factor. Default trends, cost of corruption, justice system, political risk, the GOK's penchant for springing surprises that sometimes destroy businesses ( EABL's Keg consumption comes to mind, petrol availability on some occasions) etc all factor into the rates we pay. As a business, you ignore these factors at your own peril.
