When does an internal restructure need approval from the competition authorities? The Competition Commission provides its views in its draft guidelines

On 24 January 2025, the Competition Commission (Commission) published its draft guidelines on internal restructuring (Draft Guidelines).

The Kenyan banking sector is currently facing a significant challenge due to a sharp increase in non-performing loans (NPLs). In simple terms, a loan becomes non-performing when a borrower fails to make scheduled loan payments, either of principal or interest, for 90 days or more. This trend is worrying because, according to the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), by December 2024, these bad loans accounted for 16,4% of all loans issued by banks – the highest level recorded in the past decade. The agricultural sector has been hardest hit, with 20% of loans turning bad, followed closely by the real estate sector at 18%.
