Episode Understanding Absa Bank Kenya H1 2026 Results
In this episode recorded on August 18, 2026, we sit down with Diana Mwaniki (Acting CFO, Absa Bank Kenya) in her debut Spaces appearance to dissect the lender's H1 2026 results. We explore how strong credit disbursement momentum and lower funding costs helped counter rate-cycle margin compression, the factors enabling a 150% boost to the interim dividend, and how non-funded revenue from newer capital-light business lines is diversifying the franchise.
