      Central Bank is the regulator who monitors the commercial banks and other deposit taking institutions.

    Many thanks for the review; given that these most of these banks are listed….it would be prudent for you to at least highlight the model rather the methodology you have used to generate the rankings because am concerned that CBA can outperform CFC which showed remarkable profitability; yields and ROE compared to CBA in the year.
    I believe its critical to be objective in the rankings

      Hi. Ranking is by bank assets (175b for CBA and 171b for CFC Stanbic, but the latter had a higher profit than CBA)

      Interestingly, by profit, the sequence changes to KCB, Equity, Stanchart, Coop, Barclays, I&M..hoping to do part II this week

    I agree, then it would mean that CBA is not effeciently deploying its assets to improve profitability. None the less very good analysis
