Archer, am not being paid for blogging (i wish i was….who do i need to talk to?)….. Right about now I just feel the blogojuice really flowing….. and i have excess access to free internet both at office & hotel. The Key word here is FREE!
So this post is specifically for Bankelele – and yes i know, its totally unlike me (and way out of my league).
Banks, let me know how we (kenya) compare.

More fin stuff please, less X. theer was a time when Kenya was compared with Ivory Coast and Ghana.
Which were best/worst performing shares? where are the anglo -ashantis and michael essien ltd?

BTW banks, Last week performance of the GSE was not the best by its own standards this year. A year to date change of 56.87% is highly regarded when compared to the performances previous years. See below approx figures
2005 (-)15%
2006 1%
2007 5%

Wow! 16% inflation at 16% treasury rates. Must be hell for businesses in Ghana or they are operating under the table (corruption, tax evasion, etc etc)
Banks, you should post a Kenyan comparison.
