The Chinese banks will not handle local lending but just lend to the China based companies which will look for funds in China then come spend it here. China banks already have a HUGE Asian market especially India with a billion people why come to unstable Africa before handling Asian countries next door first India is not like black Africa. They ahve their conglomerates which can rival the Chinese, they've got the man power and the government. The present black Africa is not similar to the largely unstable ungovernable gvts we had in the 90s. We have a large growing middle class and fairly competitive democracies. For you to leap from upcoming growth, you must invest in Africa now. China knows that. Of course they can add a default risk premium to Africa higher than that charged to US or say India. @Gatheuzi, What's your point exactly? My response was to the reason behind China coming black Africa way than going to India. Don't you think your argument [in red] above supports what iam alluding to? Link it with my red.

"mkeiy I now see what you meant  . I had thought you were implying that China will prefer India to Africa. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

NAIROBI Jan 16 (Reuters) - Africa focused investment firm Helios will sell half its stake in Kenyan lender Equity Bank , or 12.22 percent of the bank's shares, to Norway's Norfininvest AS, the lender said on Friday. The transaction, which requires regulatory approvals, will involve the sale of 452.9 million shares at an undisclosed price. Equity's shares were trading at 52 Kenyan shillings on Friday, up slightly from the previous day's close of 51 shillings. Norfininvest is jointly owned by Norfund, the Norwegian Investment Fund for Developing Countries, and Norfinance AS. Norfinance was established in 2013 alongside four private Norwegian partners to invest in banks and financial institutions in Africa. Helios bought a 24.45 percent stake in Equity in 2007 for more than 11 billion shillings ($120.2 million). "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

A shareholder would prefer a Nordic rather than Nigerian owning these shares. It shows that Equity still has significant upside despite the thin simcard fiasco. Sehemu ndio nyumba

Equity move from 45 to now is the best. Slow doesnot bring panic and stress. Pole pole Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune - Jim Rohn.

Interest from foreign investors on this counter is returning with a very good impact. Slow but sure. And for the record, I am now officially an Equitel user. Go for a business that any idiot can run – because sooner or later, any idiot is probably going to run it – Peter Lynch
