HOPE FOR BANKS AT LAST AFTER BAD LOANS DECLINE
NMB Bank Plc Chief Executive Officer, Ineke Bussemaker
Financial reports of eight major banks published yesterday generally show a significant fall in NPLs during 2017 compared with 2016.
Dar es Salaam. Nonperforming loans (NPLs) have fallen among large commercial banks amid declining profits as the banking industry looks to emerge from two years of operational challenges.
Financial reports of eight major banks published yesterday generally show a significant fall in NPLs during 2017 compared with 2016.
The banking industry went through a rough patch in the last two years, a situation that was largely blamed on a liquidity squeeze which resulted in reduced lending to the private sector.
With tight liquidity in the economy, borrowers failed to honour their obligations, resulting in high NPL levels.
By the end of December 2016, the NPLs to total gross loans ratio had risen to an average of 9.5 per cent from 6.4 per cent in 2015, much higher than the acceptable threshold of five per cent.

Investment cost
Rwanda State Minister for Transport Jean Deu Uwihanganye said the investment cost of the 521km Isaka-Kigali section has shot up by $700 million, hitting $2.5 billion due to inflation and depreciation of the Rwanda franc against major currencies.
TANZANIA'S SUGAR MILL KILOMBERO IN PLANS TO CONSTRUCT NEW FACTORY
The company is also targeting to increase sugar production from 126,000 tonnes to 250,000 tonnes per year. The new factory is expected to process 2.5 million tonnes of sugar cane from the current 1.2 million tonnes.
Sugar in Tanzania comes from four companies — Kilombero Sugar (KSC), Mtibwa, Kagera and TPC, a unit of Mauritius sugar producer Alteo. The four produce 320,000 tonnes of sugar per year, leaving an estimated gap of 100,000 tonnes.
According to KSC executive director Guy Williams, the new sugar factory is banking on the company’s investment in sugarcane farming under its special programme to attract outgrowers.
MITSUBISHI MOTORS TO RECALL 51,596 OUTLANDER VEHICLES IN CHINA
BEIJING, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- Mitsubishi Motors will recall 51,596 vehicles in China due to a potential safety hazard in the rear parking brake, according to China's top quality regulator.
Mitsubishi Motors Sales (China) Co. Ltd. filed the recall with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
The recall is for imported Outlander vehicles manufactured between Nov. 15, 2012 and Jan. 28, 2016, the administration said in a statement.
Water can get into the brake caliper, causing a shaft to corrode. If that happens, the parking brake may fail to fully engage, causing the vehicle to slide when parked, the statement said.
The recall will start on April 27.
Dealers will check the rear brakes. If shafts are corroded, they will replace the calipers. If not, they will replace the boot that keeps water out.

NMB CLOSES CHALLENGING YEAR WITH TZS 95BILLION UNAUDITED PROFIT AFTER TAX
Amidst the challenging business environment observed in the year, NMB was able to grow its total income by 5% from TZS 614billion in 2016 to TZS 647billion in 2017. The bank’s customer business remained strong; for the 5th time in a row, the bank was named the Best Bank in Tanzania and for the first time, the Best Bank Transformation in Africa by the leading global financial markets magazine Euromoney.
NMB has recorded a PAT of TZS 95billion for the year ending 31 December 2017, down from TZS 154billion reported for the same period in 2016. The decrease is attributed to an increase in credit provisions reflecting setbacks faced by our customers.
A high interest rate environment existed earlier in year. This resulted in an 18% increase of interest expense from TZS 102billion recorded in the same period the previous year to TZS 120billion in 2017. Consequently, net interest income grew by 4% from TZS 449 billion recorded the same period in 2016 to TZS 467billion in 2017.
Year on year, revenue from foreign currency dealings grew by 15% from TZS 15billion in 2016 to TZS 18billion in 2017. Other fees and commissions grew by 11% specifically from an increase in transactions in the various distribution channels; total non-interest revenue (NIR) increased by 9% to TZS 180billion.
In the fourth quarter of 2017, customer deposits rose by 9% to TZS 4.2 trillion from TZS 3.9 trillion as at the end of the third quarter. As a result of the prudent approach the bank adopted in growing its loan book, loans and advances grew slightly from TZS 2,786 billion in the previous quarter, to TZS 2,787 billion in the fourth quarter.
BENKI YA NMB YAFUNGA MWAKA NA FAIDA YA BILIONI 95
Kutokana na changamoto za kibiashara zilizojitokeza mwaka 2017, Benki ya NMB iliweza kuongeza pato lililotokana na biashara ya benki kwa asilimia 5 kutoka shilingi bilioni 614 mwaka 2016 mpaka bilioni 647 mwaka 2017, Biashara ya benki iliendelea kuwa imara kipindi hiki. Kwa miaka mitano mfurulizo, benki ilitajwa kama benki bora nchini na kwa mara ya kwanza, ilitajwa kuwa benki bora inayoendelea barani Afrika na taasisi ya kiamataifa ya Euromoney.
Benki ya NMB ilipata faida baada ya kodi ya shilingi Bilioni 95 kwa mwaka 2017 chini ya shilingi Bilioni 154 iliyofikiwa mwaka 2016. Kushuka kwa faida hiyo kunatokana na ongezeko la changamoto za urejeshwaji wa mikopo kutoka kwa Wateja.
Kiwango kikubwa cha riba kilikuwepo mwanzoni mwa mwaka 2017. Hii ilitokana na ongezeko la asilimia 18 ya gharama za riba kutoka shilingi Bilioni 102 ya mwaka 2016 mpaka shilingi bilioni 120 ya mwaka 2017. Wakati huo huo mapato ya riba yaliongezeka kwa asilimia 4 kutoka shilingi Bilioni 449 kwa mwaka 2016 mpaka shilingi bilioni 467 kwa mwaka 2017.
Mapato ya biashara ya fedha za kigeni ilikuwa kwa asilimia 15 kutoka shilingi Bilioni 15 mwaka 2016 mpaka shilingi bilioni 18 mwaka 2017. Ada na kamisheni zilikua kwa asilimia 11 hasa kutokana na kuongezeka kwa miamala kutoka njia mbalimbali za kibenki; Pato lisilokuwa na riba (non-interest revenue) liliongezeka kwa asilimia 9 mpaka shilingi Bilioni 180.
Katika robo ya nne ya mwaka 2017, Amana za wateja nazo ziliongezeka kwa asilimia 9 hadi kufikia kiasi cha shilingi trilioni 4.2 robo ya nne ya 2017. Matokeo haya yaliifanya benki kukuza kitabu cha mikopo na hivyo mikopo ilikua mpaka kufikia shilingi bilioni 2,786 kwa robo ya tatu ya mwaka mpaka kufikia shilingi bilioni 2,787 katika robo ya nne ya mwaka 2017.

KENYA'S NAKUMATT SUPERMARKETS GOES INTO ADMINISTRATION
NAIROBI (Reuters) - A Kenyan court on Monday granted Nakumatt Supermarkets protection from its creditors, allowing what was once Kenya’s biggest retailer to go into voluntary administration.
Nakumatt, which expanded from a mattress shop in a rural town to have branches across Kenya and East Africa, was forced to shut more than a dozen outlets last year as it struggled to repay its suppliers, landlords and other creditors.
The High Court said in its ruling that it approved Nakumatt’s application to appoint Peter Kahi as an administrator. It said he would take up his role soon.
Kahi, who works with a Nairobi consultancy, had experience turning around distressed businesses, Nakumatt said.
He is expected to manage the settling of debts estimated at more than $300 million and would try to revive the business in a slimmed down version with about 20 branches, down from 62 at its peak. When it sought protection in October, the firm had 4,000 staff, but it has closed several outlets since then.
PRESIDENT JOHN MAGUFULI DISMISSES BUTIAMA DED OVER INEPTITUDE
President John Magufuli on Tuesday dismissed Butiama District Executive Director (DED) Solomon Ngiliue over failure to discharge his duties in his district.
The Minister of State in the President’s Office, Regional Administration and Local Government (RALG), Mr Selemani Jafo, said in a statement that Ngiliue’s sacking follows a recent working tour of the district by the Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa.
During the tour, the premier found out that some officials in various district councils were irresponsible. Mr Jafo directed the Permanent Secretary in his docket to equally take appropriate measures against an accountant who was involved in the misappropriation of the government funds in the district.
“I want all officials under RALG to observe professionalism and public service code of conduct through proper utilisation of public resources for the benefit of the nation and its people,’’ he charged.
