It is in this regard that the CBK teamed up with the Kenya Bankers Association and other players to develop a credit information sharing mechanism. The mechanism will entail the licensing and oversight of Credit Reference Bureaus by the CBK. The Bureaus will act as depositories of credit information to be used by banks in their lending decisions.
The other area is an increasing need to complement government efforts in funding infrastructure development and this includes active engagement in fostering the development of the bond market or, more broadly, capital markets, where Access Bank PLC has the experience of operating in other  African markets and emerging economies.
