Banks Finansy07-05-2009 Russian banks face a non-payment of natural persons Subtotal first quarter of 2009 for the banking community was unpleasant. Virtually all of their performance deteriorated: assets decreased, the total income decreased, the losses have risen sharply. The only bright spot was the statistics on outstanding debt. It is not necessary to enjoy these figures - many bankers are hiding the real figures, putting the issue "for later". According to the Survey of the Russian Banking Sector ", issued by the Bank of Russia, the only parameter of banks, which showed improvement in March, was the level of arrears. The pace of growth has slowed of late March: Corporate credit growth was 11.5% instead of 25% in February, according to retail - growth fell from 6% to 4%. One would agree with these data, as well as assume that the crisis in Russia has reached finally hitting bottom. But do not forget that unemployment continues to rise (only in the last week before the May holidays, it was recorded a slight decrease), incomes continue to decline, and the devaluation of the ruble is already reflected in prices for imported consumer goods.
