The size of defaulted loans in December dropped by the largest monthly margin since 2007 on increased property auctions and repayment of non-performing debt through restructuring plans.

Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) data shows that non-performing loans shrank by Sh18.8 billion between November and December to Sh487 billion, reversing an upward trend that started after the August 9 General Election.
