  • CBZ Bank Upgraded to A
    CBZ Bank upgraded to A GCR upgraded CBZ Bank Limited’s (“CBZ”) long-term naional scale US$ rating to A+ (Single A plus), which is one notch up from the previous rating of A (Single A). CBZ is a wholly- owned subsidiary of CBZ Holdings Limited (CBZH), which was incorporated in June 2005. The largest shareholders include the government of Zimbabwe with 16.1%, followed by Libyan Arab Foreign Bank (14.1%), Renaissance Capital (13.6%) and NSSA (10%). CBZ offers a wide range of commercial banking products and services to the retail and corporate markets. CBZ is the largest commercial bank in Zimbabwe, having gained significant market share, with its major competitors continuing to adopt a cautious approach to asset accumulation. Being partly government owned has benefited business flows. The bank enjoys substantial financial flexibility, with its strong brand and local listing supporting its perceived “safe haven” status among depositors. The bank continued to be a major beneficiary of deposits post dollarisation, reflecting a considerable increase in its depositor-funding base during F10. The bank has also benefited from strategic alliances with the corporate sector and its ability to source government deposits through parastatals and ministries. Supplementing depositor funding, CBZ has secured off-shore lines of credit from the African Export-Import Bank and PTA Bank totalling US$70m as at FYE10. On 1 April 2010, the Group announced its plan to merge CBZ Building Society (“CBZ BS”) with the bank as part of a process to rationalise operations and maximise profitability. To date, although the bank and society have been operationally integrated, management are required to maintain separate financial statements pending conclusion of legal & regulatory procedures.

Spats of demand largely buoyed by foreign buying emerged earlier in the In the News P4 week to breathe some excitement into the market though it was weathered as the week progressed. Disclaimer P6 Consequently trades subsided to the now common levels of less than $500,000 worth per session and with it the market trended south. The corporate scene was awash with activity this week highlighted by the BNC annual general meeting where all former Mwana Africa proxies on the nickel miner’s board were removed as the new major shareholders in the latter move to have their interests fully represented in the group and subsidiaries. Fellow mining group Zimplats reported a 21% drop in output for its F15 financial year owing to the collapse at its Bimha mine that resulted in loss of production. Meanwhile interest in local investments continued to show from foreigners with Africa’s richest man, Mr Dangote, visiting the country while Tanzanian multi-national Bakhresa Group is reportedly set to acquire the entire shareholding of Blue Ribbon Industries after creditors approved its proposed $40 million capital injection.
