What's the apportionment between... AFS, Tradable and HTM...What happens if the rates turn? Offloading those things won't be that easy... Them and KCB hold crazy amounts of IFBs.
I need to look at the 1H data but given it is 23rd Sep, I will wait for the 3Q results which will be released in October.
For all practical accounting purposes, there are only 2 portfolios i.e. AFS and HTM.
In the HTM, I am not bothered by anything held for less than 1 year.
In the AFS, the hit can be substantial and let's see what they have for 3Q.
Interest Rates - If you look at the past 5 T-Bond auctions the yields have held steady despite the shortfall in net acceptances vs the target.
It's a tough on but given the addiction to borrowing, I
expect the KES to depreciate before the rates/yields increase given GoK wants lower rates. We are in uncharted territory.
