Equity Group #ticker:EQTY expects up to Sh50 billion delay in loan principal and interest receipts in the next three years on the back of Covid-19 economic hardships that have seen customers seek extensions in repayments.

Group chief executive James Mwangi says the current job losses and declining revenues are likely to hurt borrowers’ ability to service loans for about three years, leading to the cash flow disruption to the bank.
