@ngkinuthia we’ve been wondering so too as reporting has been a little ambiguous. What we know - as reported by Nation this morning, Cabinet confirmed a daily interest of “0.002%“, which would indicate 8% p.a. is correct.

Note: Decimal error, 8% / 365 is actually 0.02% per day. Image
If the #HustlerFund loan was 8% per 14 day loan and not per annum, it would be more expensive than:
Timiza (~7% for 30 days)
KCB Mpesa (~8.6% for 30 days)
Mshwari (~9% for 30 days)
. . .

…and not far off from the maximum interest rate for Branch and Tala, who charge a maximum monthly interest rate of 17.6% and 19% for 30 days respectively.

For fun - if they do charge 8% per loan instead of per annum for the #HustlerFund, GoK still needs 9 in 10 borrowers to repay to keep the fund floating. High task when the Uweza Fund only had a repayment rate of 40%

HUSTLER FUND FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
If all 50bn went to the 14-day loan at 8% p.a, the Fund would need to achieve a 99.7% repayment rate on each 14-day cycle to stay afloat.

If it only achieves 75% repayment rate, 90% of its money would be lost within 4 months.

Let’s dive in 🧵

We’ve heard that the Hustler Fund plans a direct to consumer product that will be offered at 8% per annum at 14 days.

That means a 0.31% effective interest rate on each 14 day loan - the 14 day’s share of the 8% yearly interest rate.

On this assumption, the fund will gain only 0.31% for each 14 day-loan repaid. The fund will loose all the money that is not repaid to it, or defaults.

If people default on more than 0.31% of the loans, the fund will loose money on each loan cycle.
