The report themed “Transition continues, to a more stable sector, in an era of increased regulation” is part of the cutting edge and informative industry reports regularly released by Cytonn Investment. Maurice Oduor, Cytonn’s Investments Manager while releasing the report noted, “Consolidation in the banking sector will only gather pace going forward, with weaker banks being forced to merge or be acquired. Local stable banks will also seek to acquire banks aligned with their strategies, as witnessed by I&M Holdings’ acquisition of Giro. The likely candidates for mergers in the banking space will be banks with common significant shareholders”
