How foreign bankers work in Russia and Original techno innovations


Foreign bankers who decide to invest in Russia are most afraid of prices. By the end of next year, the share of credit institutions fully controlled by foreigners in the capital of the Russian banking system may grow from 8 to 10%, or up to $7.5 billion, SmartMoney weekly reports. Global banks are increasing their presence in every niche of the Russian market. Banks owned by foreigners account for a third of the interbank loans market, 14% of the corporate deposits market and 5.5% of the private deposits market. In general, the share of foreigners in the assets of the Russian banking system reaches 11%, or about $46 billion, which is comparable to the total assets of all banks in Kazakhstan. According to this indicator, Russia has overtaken India and China, where foreign banks own 8% and 2% of assets, respectively, but has lagged behind Brazil, where their share is approaching 27%. And in the Czech Republic and Estonia, foreigners own 97-99% of banking assets.

We forecast the growth of foreign participation in the banking sector based on the Top 200 Russian banks, which occupy about 80% of the market by capitalization. Our forecast applies only to those banks that are 100% controlled by foreign investors, and does not take into account the impact on the banking sector of Russia's accession to the WTO. Russian banks, which are completely under the control of foreign investors, account for 8% of the total capital. We expect this figure to rise to 10% by the end of 2007 and to 20% by 2010.

The expansion of global banks into Russia faces several limitations. The growth rate of Russian banks has been in double digits for the fifth year, and there are no reasons for a slowdown yet. Large Russian banks are ready to sell their shares with a ratio of 4 to 6 capitals, while in Europe the standard level is from 2 to 3 capitals. The sale of Michinoku Bank to Mizuho Financial Group for 1.32 capital is an exception confirming the rule: The small Mitinoku Bank had problems at home.
