Major central banks have printed a lot of money but there’s been no inflation
The brown line is a rough estimate of global dollar liquidity – and it has been rising sharply since around 2000…
…and yet global inflation has fallen
But this is goods price inflation. Asset price inflation, like bond prices, stock prices and property prices have risen

What’s wrong with debt? Key points
Economic growth helps to pay off debt
But if nominal growth is less than the interest rate charged on debt, it is difficult to reduce the debt
In this example the sink stays full with debt

Are Democrats good for the dollar?Key points
Shaded areas represent Democrat presidents
The dollar tends to rise during Democrat presidency and fall when Republican president is in charge
Recessions have tended to occur during Republican presidencies, not Democrat
Political dangers – the US
For Trump
• Voters are railing against
government
• Sufficient finance
• Hard for Democrats to win the
presidency after a two-term
stint for Obama
• Obama’s popularity rating is
low
• Clinton supported by big
business, especially Wall Street
• Clinton is seen as an
‘untrustworthy’ candidate
Against Trump
• ‘Offended’ minorities dominate many swing
states
• Demographics – the US is becoming less
‘white’
• He’s offended the Republican Party
• Swing voters could align against him
• He’s not been strongly challenged on issues
• He’s seen as an ‘untrustworthy’ candidate
• He’s not attracted much negative
campaigning
Key points
High debt and modest growth are sowing the seeds of political fragmentation and disenchantment
One place we see this is in the US with the rise of Republican candidate Donald Trump
10
Who do you trust in the Brexit polling debate?Key points
Opinion polls show consistently different results depending on whether people are called on the telephone or fill in an online poll
What does this reflect?
Possibly people feel more pressurised to give an opinion on the telephone
It may also be because they feel they ‘should’ express a bias to remain

FX reserves recover after financial outflows in 201 5
Source: KNBS; CBK; Standard bank research
Key pointsKey points
Balance of payment shock in 2015 was largely owing to financial account.
Reversal of financial flows began in Q4:15, albeit modestly.
When will equity market rebound?
CBK has a war chest with FX reserves being boosted by syndicated loan issuance as well as IMF precautionary facility at their disposal.
CBK has more than enough ammunition to ensure KES operates in an orderly manner.

Key pointsKey points
Magufuli has so far lived up to his nickname ‘tingatinga’ which means bulldozer.
Fiscal deficit inclgrants likely to be lower at 10.3% of GDP in FY15/16 as we suspect planned expenditure by the govt was lower due to delays in obtaining donor funding.
Tax collections been abysmal over the years. Magufuli, suspends TRA chief after TZS80bn couldn’t be accounted for.
Eurobond or private placement?
Credit rating delay?
Tanzania: Magafuli clamping down on spending
Magufuli has started well, but he must;
• Find a swift solution to the stalemate in Zanzibar.
• Hold the referendum vote for the new constitution.
• Fight corruption and continue his on-going house cleaning exercise.
• Sort out the petroleum act to boost FDI in the natural gas sector.
18
Key pointsKey points
Food prices are likely to mirror the trend in the rest of the region and rise in Q1:16.
Food stocks held by the National Food Reserve Agency (NFRA) have been falling since Dec 14. This is potentially a further upside risk to food prices.
The BOT increased the SMR ration to 10% from 8% and also lowered commercial banks prudential limit on foreign currency NOP, to 5.5% from 7.5% of core capital.
BOT will remain circumspect around the TZS and thus prefer to leave the policy stance unchanged.

Divergence in growth is a dominant theme for Africa in 2016
Conclusion
� Commodity exporters (specifically metals, oil) will likely experience a marked slowdown in economic growth
– Financing of growth will prove challenging
– Pressure on currencies to depreciate
� Non-metals, non-oil exporters should fare much better
– Monetary policy independence
– Less pressure for currency depreciation

The services, securities and investments discussed in this material may not be available to nor suitable for all investors. Investors should make their own investment decisions based upon their own financial objectives and financial resources and it should be noted that investment involves risk, including the risk of capital loss. Past performance is no guide to future performance. In relation to securities denominated in foreign currency, movements in exchange rates will have an effect on the value, either favourable or unfavourable. Some investments discussed in this marketing communication have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment, in such circumstances you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make them investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realize those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.

Key aspects of our insurance business model
Segment groupsFocus will vary by country, based on
commerciality
Commerciality of segments
• Customer value propositions developed per segment

Operating environment in 2015
We believe our strategy is sufficiently aligned to current trends and opportunities in the market
New businessesEconomic & Political environment• Political stability in all countries, although terrorism risk is
still a concern in Kenya;• Market volatility in Kenya from the end of April – equity
market fell 26% between April and October – short-term bond yields rose +700bps;
• Tanzania and Uganda macroeconomic fundamentals improved – inflation at single digits;
• Business confidence has fallen in Southern Africa; A possible downgrade of SA’s sovereign credit rating could affect the Southern region
• Currency depreciation and ratings downgrade in Zambia
Regulatory developments
• Progress in liberalising Bancassurance regulations in Kenya and Uganda;
• Enhanced importance around TCF and policyholder protection principles in Kenya and Swaziland;
• New regulations in Namibia around insurer prescribed assets and unlisted investments
• Higher scrutiny of tax and other regulatory compliance across geographies/borders, in growth markets of Kenya and Nigeria
Competitive Landscape• M&A and greenfield opportunities explored by SA insurers; • Renewed interest by European Insurers in the African
continent e.g. Prudential & AXA; • Kenya insurers looking to aggressively expand in the East
Africa region;• Underwriting margin pressure• Opportunities from the growth of Chinese and Indian FDI,
particularly in East Africa• Aggressive bonus declarations on deposit administration
