Further,

It appears (according to this) that Barclays is pulling out of other emerging markets like Brazil and Asia.

My view is that it is hard for them to survive in a climate where businesses grow naturally. Their business model hadn't changed enough since colonial times. Back before independence when companies had astonishing profits because they paid locals next to nothing and had land assets they either never paid for or purchased for very little. When you have customers like those of course you'll thrive.

And despite Equity and others efforts to bank the unbanked, smaller depositors have never quite warmed up to Big Bank so mobile banking is what is now expanding at a dizzying rate.

Mutinda.

There is too much speculation and different stories regarding Barclays in Africa operations.

Before you dismiss Mutinda;

Are in the headlines.

All the other information is coming from the local camp, like the x file...the truth is out there

Before we rush to dismiss Mutinda, lets wait and see what happens. A lot of factors may come into play that may leave the bank on its knees. Already a good number of people have migrated their accounts to other banks.

I have a cousin who works at Barclays South Africa & she informs me this will not impact day to day running of the bank. The bank will certainly not close down. If it is to be sold, it will be as a going concern.

Sent on the run,
Please excuse errors & omissions!

How about you get all your facts right first before making an ill informed post. They say they are reducing their stake to a non controlling position and the decision is influenced by bank of England regulatory factors.

Haiya,

Have you guys heard? Barclays has bowed out of Africa. A chilling reminder that global banks aren't out of the woods just yet!
