Kenya's banking sector is facing important decisions, from higher capital requirements and the future of locally owned lenders to the cost of credit and financial stability.

Recent comments by CBK Governor Kamau Thugge have brought these issues into sharper focus, including questions about whether stronger capital requirements could limit the growth of Kenyan-owned banks.

There are also developments around the shilling, the proposed electronic collateral registry and CBK's growing use of artificial intelligence.

Our latest thread connects these developments and examines what they could mean for banks, borrowers, businesses and Kenya's wider economy.

Safaricom’s HY27 results point to stronger earnings, driven by sustained growth in Kenya and a sharp reduction in losses at its Ethiopia operation. Group service revenue rose 13.1% to KSh226.1 billion, while net income increased 35.9% to KSh58.2 billion.

M-PESA revenue grew 13.6%, with transaction volumes expanding faster than revenue. The results also offer a closer look at OneApp adoption, merchant services, Ethiopia’s path towards profitability and the rising energy costs of running Safaricom’s network.
