Digitized freight forwarders could unlock efficient supply chains, trade and economic development in Africa. But supply chain visibility can be hard to monetize. Why? @SamoraKariuki explains this and other logistics fundamentals. Listen here: share.transistor.fm/s/6e201d28


Random Take… there are real challenges in the real economy, the faster we accept and address the better. Stanchart is one of the strongest banking franchises, if not the strongest, in Kenya. When they REDUCE LOANS by 10% but INCREASE GOVT LENDING by 46%, what can we take from that? They are finding it hard to get good borrowers so just pile on treasuries? And Stanchart is not alone, for banks reporting so far, loans are down about 4%, gava securities are up 13%. That should be very troubling for anyone who cares about the Kenyan economy.
