      <video:title><![CDATA[Moody's report: Kenyan banks show financial metrics improvement]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[In its latest sector report, global credit rating agency Moody's highlights that financial metrics across Kenyan commercial banks continue to show robust improvement. Despite lower asset yields in a falling interest-rate environment, bank profitability remains strong — driven by a steep drop in funding costs, lower loan-loss provisions, and a rebound in credit growth. While asset quality is improving, high non-performing loan ratios and heavy exposure to government debt remain persistent challenges for the sector.
Joining CNBC Africa to break down these numbers and what they mean for the wider East African economy is Christos Theofilou, Vice President at Moody's Ratings.
