Title:  Russian Banking Sector in APRIL 2014
Abstract:  In April 2014, Russia’s banking sector witnessed a continuation of the trends observed over the several previous months: the share of state-owned banks continued to increase in all major segments of the banking services market; the growth rate of retail lending remained on the decline, while the quality of this type of lending continued to deteriorate – moreover, it grew increasingly dependent on allocations from money market regulators. The only positive factor worth mentioning was the discontinuation of private-customer deposit oulows. However, in spite of this positive development, the annual growth rate of the deposit base continued to decline.
