My Chat With a Bank CEO - DIB Bank Kenya CEO Peter Makau

<p>Peter Makau, the CEO of DIB Bank Kenya hosted the second session of <a href="http://chat.kba.co.ke/" target="_blank">my chat with a bank CEO online event</a> by Kenya Bankers Association.&nbsp;</p> <p>Islamic finance was introduced in Kenya more than a decade ago following the introduction of Sharia-Compliant banking in the country. Since its inception the banking model has grown rapidly, making Kenya a leading regional market for Islamic banking. Various banks have entered the market, leveraging on investment opportunities presented by the financing option.</p> <p>Peter Makau shares insights on how Kenya is one of the countries that have the largest potential for growth of Islamic banking and debt securities (sukuk).&nbsp;</p> <p>Currently, there are three fully-fledged Islamic banks in Kenya. To keep pace with demand, some banks have set up an Islamic banking desk, a specialised operational entity.</p>
