*90% of the creditors are for the extension The 10% of the creditors were paid.The remaining 90% will be paid in April at a higher interest rate. So what is the amount paid? When I get the figure will inform you Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

In March, Kenya borrowed Sh82 billion ($800 million) in a syndicated loan from a consortium of four banks – Standard Chartered, Standard Bank, Citi and Rand Merchant Bank. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

Repealing the cap won't have much of an effect.

Repealing/ammending the rate cap is the easy part. The problem is much bigger than that. With treasury seemingly at sea and unwilling/unable to do damage limitation, it will be very interesting to watch how KE sails in the next one year or so. The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

http://kenyanwallstreet....ruction-2nd-jkia-runway
The African Development Bank (AfDB) has announced the approval of a Sh 16 Billion (US$ 160m) loan for the expansion of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). The project entails construction of a 4.9-km second runway to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Category II standards, including connecting taxiways, additional parking stands for aircraft, and an air rescue firefighting unit. The existing single runway is operating at Category Flights Conditions level one (CAT-I) with a width of 45m and 4.1 km long. The 2nd runway will support more air traffic and facilitate increased tourism and business travel and expedite a two-way cargo traffic. The project is designed to improve reliability of air transport to and from JKIA by reducing delays at peak hours and costly flight diversions arising from incidences on the existing runway, as well as the configuration of the existing single runway facility that impede the airports operational efficiency.

Rate caps are working somewhere else... Removing them is a mistake... One of UhuruRuto best policies... They should just be relaxed... Lazy bankers should not be allowed to sabotage this noble initiative... Give them 2 years of profit declines... They will start lending lol

The cap simply isn't working in its current state. It would be better to remove the floor on deposits at 70% of CBR. If banks don't succeed then Corporates go down, then SME goes down and the country follows
