    This post is a bit incomprehensible. Are you guys like the prince in Saudi Arabia who owned major shares of citibank? and so have to obsess about all the minor details of a bank’s balance sheets?

    In other words, is knowing all these numbers going to add a substanial amount of ugali on your plates?

    Senor banks-Hercules has nothing on you! Plse accept my very very humble suggestion. Plse try and see if you can use a table format or even pdf this very useful data.
    KCB is top of the pile, but its a bit like being heavy. Its no good if you can’t utilise it fully. Squeeze them costs, bad lending habits and we may have a very serious African bank. I like that its no longer Kenya Commercial Banks, but KCB.

    CT-I believe City Finance has already merged with Jamii Bora Trust.

    Yes, I agree with MainaT – Use table fomat as its hard tpo use this information. I begt you have an excekl sheet showehere with the ame info in table format already.

    PKW: you’re welcome

    Coldtusker: I know. The gap used to be much closer between mid-tier banks and the top, but it has magnified. KCB group also exceed BBK group, but less profit in both cases

    Anon: substantial ugali

    MainaT: thanks, but I need to put up a proper table once I get my data re-assembled
