Additional USD 1.5B in new assets from TMB plus increase of 110 more branches, total branch count across the group to now stand at 462 across EAC I mixed have feelings about this acquisition. Don't know whether it is just a money grab by insiders, whether the investment makes sense and whether it has been made at a competitive price. Share price is also not excited by the move. Now they are angling for acquisition in Ethiopia as the entry route. With that they will have cemented presence in the Eastern Africa region Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

KCB Bank Kenya has injected over Ksh. 120 billion to support Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) importing fuel as it seeks to consolidate its support to the energy sector. The Bank has been facilitating oil importation into the country by financing the oil firms under its portfolio that have won business under the Open Tender System (OTS) through the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining. Under the OTS system, the winning oil marketer imports the fuels on behalf of the other firms using the confirmed allocations; the other oil marketers are mandated to offtake their volumes upon arrival. With the government indicating doing away with oil subsidies, the price of fuel in the country is set to surge in the coming months. Therefore, KCB’s contribution towards the stabilization of the prices in the short term will be vital. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

Then right after that they will probably come up with another target for acquisition. These are the new cash cows. Over paying for these acquisitions. Poor corporate governance is the bane of our NSE.

Not so long ago some of those laughed at prices of many shares dropping below "floors" and these floors kept on dropping lower! Centum is less than 10/- (from 40s) ABSA dropped below 9/- CARB had dropped to 9/- SAF had dropped to 23/- (from 40) BAT JUB EABL And so many more examples. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

The last attempt having failed? What happens if the local banks in the foreign countries(as has happened in Kenya) suddenly have business advantage because of nationalism?
