Commentary

The headline numbers are quiet strong. Total operating income surged by 29.4%  year on year to stand at Sh28.6b on the back of a 38.5% increase in net interest income. Non- interest revenue surged by 19.2% year on year to stand at Sh12.b despite a huge drop in other income (bond trading income) due to a huge increase in forex trading income. Non interest revenue now makes up 43.4% of total operating income vs. 41% at KCB and 38% at Barclays Bank Kenya. The micro lender grew its loan book by 45% in 2011 to stand at Sh113b.
