Kuna factors nyingi zinacontribute kwa kuset up interest rate.Kwa mfano inflation,exchange rates,economic growth etc.The rate of inflation is currently about 6.5%.The CBK sets the risk free rate which is the minimum rate of interest can be charged excluding the risks.The banks then considers the risk of the clients and adds a margin to charge the customers.How the MPs determined is 4% i have no idea. Hutia Mundu!!

Uhuru has done a good thing because he has counterbalanced a sector that has lots of political and economic power that if left alone would send not just the wrong message to the majority of citizens, but would help create a monopoly of power.
In the short term, we may see the banks and investors fighting back, but through the middle and long terms the banks may be forced to find a middle ground. What I'm not certain about is the ability of citizen power to be active enough to respond to the banks on time.
But these are uncertain times. The text book economics that we've been relying on are in tatters...

Banking industry is not the same as matatu industry.No one is telling wanjiku that she will have to walk to work and hang on the overcrowded trains.Brace yourselves. to those who understand the blue section, please confirm to me kama nimetusiwo I was just trying to compare the two scenarios, of course I am sure banking industry and the matatu industry are vastly different but looking at it from the point of view where rules were introduced that seemed at first to reduce the profits of the said industry

Yeah, the then big banks shunned the small guy on the streets in favour of "persons" of better credit worthiness. Subsequently, interest rates were relatively ok. Then Equity happened. This new kid on the block treaded where others feared, but there was a catch - due to the segments risks, they put a premium on the interest they charge. Any wonder then that even todate Equity is amongst the highest interest chargers in the market! Seeing that the establishment's bank was not shy to charge high rates, other banks joined the dance. And now we are where we are! Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic
