The banking cartel in kenya want more power after looting this country dry with Uhuru guys and now Ruto. Next is killing the sacco industry but wataweza?
This core capital wameambiwa walipeunafikiri i kama licence that just disappears ukishalipa? Hiyo pesa unadeposit na CBK a siku ile utataka kufunga bank yako utarudishiwa. Worse still, this country practices fractional banking which long story short means that the bank can loan out more than it has. How much they can loan out is a percentage determined by the central bank.
Takeaway hapa ni:
It just makes it more difficult for new entrants into the banking market.
The banks can now lend eve more
This will have an inflationary effect (debatable)
So tell me why you are convinced that despite these obvious advantages, 62% of banks in Kenya would rather close shop than raise 9B each. Also, these banks are profitable and have access to loans from international platforms.
Safaricom is coming in with it’s Ziidi MMF on its app and it will prompt mass withdrawals from banks as people would prefer keeping their funds in the MMF, where they are promised more returns than saving accounts.
NCBA will reap big from this as other banks suffer.
The last time this core capital was raised to 1B banks really sweated, ile serious. Raising it to 10B only tier 1 banks will survive, but at what expense? Na msisahau Mpesa are quickly coming in with proposals your money wallet limit itoke 500K to 1M. Mpaka sasa they want to separate Mpesa from Safaricom.
