Government paper: So thats why Stanchart didnt 'grow' in 2006

odegle said...

wow! very powerful rankings there. most of the figures don't make sense to me. for instance, a bank is small but with a high staff expense figure. or that a bank has more than 100% NPA as a ratio of loans. what does that mean? what is their business and how are they managing to stay on?

thank you for this post.

Stanbic only has 25 million ksh? That's seems ridiculously low!

bankelele said...

pesa tu: govt securities are easy money - no risk, but low return compared to personal loans

Odegle: Staff expenses are interesting when you compare them to the number of branches, deposits and loans.
Note: Have taken down the NPA row as it did not reflect provisions made by banks

Anonymous: That's 25 billion shillings

Banks
I somehow missed the source of this report

Or did you do it yourself???

Ken said...

Banks this is great info.
I dont get how NBK has so much in terms of assets with their bad loan portfolio. I thought they had more branches, looks like they are diminishing day by day.

Shee said...

Eh.. Na Barclays wako fiti basi...
Looks like they're topping kila nmahali..

Banks - Asante sana again!

When is the CFC-Stanbic merger supposed to be completed?

I thought a merger between Diamond & Habib was in the books, perhaps they are waiting after the BOC-Carbacid and CFC-Stanbic mergers are completed!

Anyway, so fewer banks in 2007 but probably stronger!

coldtusker said...

Odegle: The bad loans are a hangover from the past. These banks are trying to clean up their boks but the courts are SLOW...

Technically NBK is insolvent if they used the same accounting rules as BBK!

ken: NPAs need not be written off but the accrued income is not counted as part of "income" but included in suspense accounts.

When the NPAs are collected e.g. sale of land then the asset is converted into cash.

Hence NPA = Non-performing asset

falconsgladiator: Well, all but two of the banks were profitable in 2006. Mybe some did not provide enough for bad debts, but even if you raise the share capital there won't be that mergers (unless it is drastic like to 1 billion shillings)

alexcia: hard work eh?

Ken: CT has explained better

Susan: are you a prestige customer?

coldtusker: I'd be afraid to push the CFC-Stanbic merger forward now and have it suspended for eons. Business Daily had a story yesterday about how the CMA vs. Sha Munge case has not been resolved (4 years later) - so you can imagine the agony for carbacid/BOC shareholders

Anonymous said...

Kudos bro

Next step will be to catch some thieves

coldtusker said...

I will rant against the CMA in my blog...

CMA is being silly... they block worthwhile mergers while turning a blind eye to collapsing brokers!!!

If BOC & Carbacid were private firms, they would have merged quietly!

If BOC decides to build their own CO2 plant, they could outpace Carbacid in 5 years which would leave Carbacid shareholders with nothing!

MainaT said...

Tx banks-re I&M bank-can anybody confirm that these guys are majority owned by City Trust?
The CFC-Stanbic merger should be more straight fwd one than the BOC one where the hold up was the % that had to agree to the merger.

Banks, do you have the complete analysis of the 43 banks you have ranked? this will make for interesting read. If not any sign posts to where they can be found?
