Why was I expecting a loss? Not impressive tho, the housing market is struggling "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

Kenya’s oldest stand-alone mortgage provider plans to offload its entire home-loans book only to build it up again. HF Group Ltd. expects to benefit from the government’s push to construct 500,000 affordable homes over the next five years to try narrow a shortfall at least five times that size. The government is creating Kenya Mortgage Refinance Co., which will provide funding to lenders, and allow companies like HF Group to sell existing loans to the new entity to free up capital, Chief Executive Officer Sam Waweru said. “We can release, off the top of my head, about 50 billion shillings ($498 million) from our own book,” Waweru said in an interview in the capital, Nairobi. “That would mean we can lend another 50 billion shillings to the economy immediately. We’ll bundle together the mortgages we have written over the years.” HF Group plans to provide housing loans of as low as 2.5 million shillings for about 200 new housing units over the next year, Waweru said. President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration has made low-income housing one of its four top priorities after winning a second term last year by offering tax relief and stamp-duty exemptions for first-time buyers. It may also breathe new life into the sector after interest-rate caps introduced in August 2016 caused lending to slow. Slowing Market The size of the market is also relatively small, weighed down by property prices beyond what most Kenyans can afford, high lending rates, difficulties with registration and undeveloped loan-underwriting procedures, Cytonn Investments Management Ltd. said in a report in April. The number of Kenyan mortgages declined 1.5 percent in 2016 to 24,085 even as the value increased by 8.1 percent to 220 billion shillings, as property prices rose, the Nairobi-based money manager said.

HF Group is set to lay off about 36 employees in a cost-cutting move that will see it merge some staff positions. The mortgage lender reported a 58 per cent drop in profits to Sh37.1 million in the first three months of the year. It said Tuesday that the restructuring would result in merger, redundancy and creation of new roles for its recently launched digital banking strategy. The move, the bank announced, commences immediately and targets up to nine per cent of the workforce, with those affected being offered a redundancy package. It had 403 employees at the close of December last year, indicating that the redundancy will affect about 36 employees. In 2016, the group’s workforce was 479. The latest exit will therefore mean that staff size has shrunk by about 112 employees in less than two years. Operational costs Group managing director Frank Ireri said the latest layoffs will enable customer-focused decision-making, provide clarity on operational accountabilities and curb operational costs. “By rationalising roles, we are providing the appropriate gearing towards future growth and addressing current issues such as operating costs for the business, which have remained high and hindered our ability to operate profitably,” said Mr Ireri who is set to leave HF in March next year.
