Biggest Kenyan Bank Pauses Ethiopian Entry on Virus UncertaintyKenya’s biggest bank put on hold plans to expand into Ethiopia where fighting between the federal government and a dissident region has resulted in hundreds of deaths and caused thousands to flee. KCB Group Ltd. is waiting for the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus to settle before pursuing an entry into its northerly neighbor, Chief Executive Officer Joshua Oigara said. The Nairobi-based lender, which was looking to partner with an Ethiopian bank, will instead focus on the six markets it currently operates in, he said. “The conversations for Ethiopia are not continuing for now,” the CEO said in an interview, without referring to the incursion. “It will have to happen once we are clear about how the pandemic goes.” The lender’s profit in the nine months through September declined 43% compared with a year-earlier after provisions surged amid the economic fallout of the coronavirus. Going into next year, the company is projecting some recovery in East Africa as the countries adapt to living with Covid-19. KCB will still be on the look out for opportunities for its existing businesses. “We remain very optimistic in markets like Rwanda, where we have always been very interested in increasing our presence,” Oigara said. “We are very much interested in enhancing capability in Tanzania, and obviously also in Uganda,” he said. “So we are on standby.” The company will need to cut staff, which accounts for almost 45% of total expenses, the CEO said, without providing more details. It will further reduce costs such as leases, meals and travel by December. “We are also looking very strongly at our own technology investments as we migrate transactions in those areas,” Oigara said. “That will also reduce any additional staff costs.” Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

If they get their act together returns are immense Volatile makes it easier to charge 50% interest rate because of the risk. If the fintech lenders in Kenya were making money a bank can make money provided governments get out of the way.

https://citizentv.co.ke/...-ksh-29-billion-350940/
KCB Group has continued its clean up of the National Bank of Kenya (NBK) books with the lender’s share of gross non performing loans (NPLs) shrinking to Ksh.29 billion. Acquired in 2019, NBK had been struggling under the weight of loan defaults, a concern that triggered KCB Group to delegate an asset recovery team to aid in the capture of outstanding loans. The lender’s gross NPLs fell from Ksh.33 billion at the same time last year irrespective of COVID-19 shocks in the year which has deteriorated banking sector assets. NBK nevertheless booked a reduced Ksh.87.9 million profit from Ksh.376.5 million last year on higher loan loss provisions costs which hit Ksh.619.5 million in the period.
KCB Group Chief Financial Officer says NBK turnaround remains a continuing story irrespective of the tough operating environment. “NBK is a good story…a turn around story. We are looking to close the year with about Ksh.1 billion in profitability in spite of it being an abnormal year,” he said. The sentiments echoed by the CFO mirror those given by KCB Group CEO Joshua Oigara in response to queries on the quality of the NBK buy earlier in March. “Nobody goes to buy a fat cow unless you don’t know how to do business. If you buy a business where the market value has already been exploited, you would be putting shareholder funds to waste. If you are to ask the same question on whether I would still buy NBK, the answer is a yes,” he said. NBK asset base jumped to Ksh.129.6 billion in the last nine months with net loans to customers growing to Ksh.53.4 billion from Ksh.47.9 billion last year.Meanwhile, the bank’s customer deposits have improved to Ksh.102.6 billion from Ksh.82.7 billion at the same stage in 2019.
Moreover, NBK core capital has hit Ksh.6.6 billion to stay above the Ksh.1 billion regulatory buffer following new capital injection by KCB Group at the end of last year.KCB lure of NBK stemmed from its high accumulation of government accounts which largely feature State and Ministerial Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

From July 2018 wukan wrote:[quote=VituVingiSana]City Hall seeks lender to buy out Sh4.2bn KCB loan https://www.businessdail...0462-hng6pgz/index.html[/quote] Quote:The defunct government refinanced the loan with KCB over what it claimed were unfavourable conditions set by Equity, including a lending rate of 20 per cent and a 60-month repayment period.
KCB bought out the loan in April 2014, slashing the lending rate to 13 per cent, lengthening maturity of the debt to eight years and giving a six-month grace repayment period. Quite clearly interest rates are not the problem. Lower interest rates and longer maturity and still defaults. Resource allocation and management is the issue. Why would you borrow to pay taxes and pensions?  # KCB sues Nairobi County on Sh5 billion defaulted Equity loan https://www.businessdail...lted-equity-loan-3022610Greedy when others are fearful.

Mr Oigara says that the rising cases of Covid-19 infections means the economic difficulties will take longer to start clearing, with the best case scenario being June next year.
