Fellow, Wazuan's I wanted your input on a query.

As some of you may know one can borrow on KES fixed deposit/savings at 3-4% margin on savings rate i.e. If a fixed deposit of X is earning 8% once can borrow roughly 0.9X or less for 11-12%.

Does this logic also apply to USD/GBP savings? Are the same margins charged as they are for KES?

GBP/USD savings are at mostly around 1-3%, and if the above logic applies, therefore, one can borrow at 4-7%, which I think is comparatively cheap.

Is it as straightforward or is there more to it? Kindly educate.

That is the toughest part my friend, options are UAE and EU but not as easy as I hoped.
