I am confident that the banking industry, that has remained stable on the back of the steady growth seen over the past decade, will continue to play an important role in supporting the various economic sectors through provision of credit.
With an asset base of Ksh.2.70 trillion as at the end of December 2013 compared to Ksh.2.33 trillion as at the end of 2012, the industry is clearly maintaining the growth path. Similarly, customer deposits grew by 14 percent in the period from Ksh.1.71 trillion to Ksh.1.94 trillion.
