Russia Banking Sector Report 2017/2018

Russia’s banking industry expanded at a robust pace in the 2000-2014 period, with assets growing at an average of 30.2% a year. The industry, however, suffered a serious blow in 2015-2016, when the economy entered a recession triggered by low oil prices and Western sanctions in response to Russia’s annexation of the Crimean peninsula in 2014. The financial sanctions prevent many Russian banks and companies from borrowing money in foreign markets, negatively affecting their performance. The assets of credit institutions in the country shrank by 3.5% y/y to RUB 80.1tn in 2016, registering their first annual decline since at least 2000. The loan and deposit base of the sector narrowed in 2016, but lenders managed to boost their profit significantly, thanks largely to a sharp decrease in loan loss provisions.
