Hooray!! Reverse this b**ch!  Cap rate will be hard to be reversed by Mpigs since they have taken substantial loans for personal development. Secondly, the statement made by the president was political to please a section of the population that don't matter so much to Jubulee vote-wise.

The inflation is eating up every shilling allegedly saved by the rate cap

This law was political. I think govt should try to be innovative with the law so that they control interest rates without necessarily hurting lending and the economy. Just like they exempted paying interests on transaction accounts, they should exempt caps on unsecured loans or widen the margin above cbr “Invest in yourself. Your career is the engine of your wealth.”

Where are those guys who said they'll get big loans and this law won't affect bank performance? Delusional. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Everyone is hearing what they want to hear. The president did not regret capping the bank rates, he said the lack of credit flow to SME's was an unfortunate consequence which he will work on. "work on" in my opinion does not equate to reversing the capping law (which by the way he can't even if he wanted to) Let him use other means for example reduce the govt appetite for borrowing from the domestic market.

Quote:Banks have said only removal of the interest rates cap could release credit flow to the private sector, responding to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s announcement in Wednesday’s State of the Nation address.
Most of the banks that have announced their 2016 full-year results have reported shrunken loan books in the period, with personal and SME loans taking the biggest hit due to their relatively higher risk profile.
“This is an issue that concerns us and is one that I will actively seek to resolve so that credit can start to flow again to the real drivers of our economy,” said the President.

COOP & HF will come out strongest in this.. Too little meat to be bitten out from the two. Plus HF has never been strong on deposits being only licensed to have current accounts a few months ago!! HF will have the least interest expense of all listed lenders Hey @Obiero. Bill not signed. And please note I did not put the word 'yet' at the end. Its bound to be signed on Monday 29th Aug 2016 The bankers will visit statehouse with big brown envelop and this story will be forgotten. Smaller banks will fold Here we are...

and then Sidian lays off 108 workers http://www.businessdaily...9550-3428588-151f209z/, then Ecobank collapses 9 branches http://www.businessdaily...6506-316lohz/index.html
First Community Bank let go of a quarter of its staff http://www.the-star.co.k...osed-number-of_c1451638
And now BoA closes 12 branches. Sad state of affairs http://www.businessdaily...2926-jp394sz/index.html
80% of deposits are currently held in 7 banks in this country. Consolidation of institutions in the financial sector will pick up speed as we head deeper into turbulent economic times. Dubai, Imperial, Giro and Habib bank down.. Who's next??

HERECS Rotich's take as of yesterday 27th MarchTreasury secretary Henry Rotich yesterday said the government is mulling reviewing the caps in the wake of a sharp decline in credit growth. “We are monitoring the situation very closely. This will inform our next course of action, including reviewing the caps if that’s necessary,” said Mr Rotich in a separate event.
