Russian Banking Sector • The sector is highly concentrated: five government controlled banking groups hold 60% of assets, foreign banks hold 18%, and large private banking groups hold the majority of the remainder. • Competitive landscape: many Russian mid-cap banks are all pursuing similar strategies with few operational or niche market advantages. • Funding is becoming tighter: deposits are slowing, government resources are ultimately limited, and long-term financing remains unavailable on the market. Many capital market instruments (e.g. securitization, etc) are limited in use by the current legislation. • Capital requirements are increasing: CBR is emphasizing strengthening banks’ capitalization, including increased risk weights for certain retail loans, increased RR for certain project finance loans, and Basel III-like capital rules. 2
