CBK cuts rate by 0.5 %

The central bank has cut down the rate by 0.5 % basis to be 2.5 % instead of 3 % as before. This was announced today morning. So eventually the loans rate has been decreased by 0.5 % to be 5.5 % instead of 6%. And also all banks have decreased the rates of deposits by 0.5 %.

This will be a tough competition between banks to retain their customers and avoid the transfer of funds to stock exchange or real estate deals. On the other hand it’s good for loan customers to renew their loans at a lower interest rate and instalment.

I love Kaizen…

I’ve been trying many Japanese restaurants lately and most of them are good. However I have some preferences. I don’t like the Japanese fusion sushi like Maki with all the saucy stuff that ruins the taste of sushi. I’m not a Japanese food expert but what I’ve tried I got to say that Kaizen and Edo come first in the list. Then there’s Meli Melo a small Japanese restaurant which I like a lot too.

There’s a new one opening in Shaab soon called Oushi, they called me the other day for dining before their opening in two weeks however I had other commitments will try soon and post about my experience.

Enjoy your saturday bloggers and friends :*

Angie is reportedly “obsessed” with Lady Gaga. Jolie is openly bisexual, and Lady Gaga is a rumored hermaphrodite who has insinuated in the past that she might be open to getting down with both girls and boys.

Madonna and Jesus are split!

Madonna and her toyboy lover Jesus split up last night after both took the decision to end up their affair. They blamed the 28 year difference in age and lack of common interest. Moreover the busy work schedule for The Queen was a main factor too, since she was always away from him.

“Or as Madonna said, ‘We’ve just run out of things to talk about. It’s really pushing it for us to have common ground these days. We have Kabbalah, that’s about it’.”
