Russian banking group VTB made a net
loss of RUB59.6bn ($2bn) in fiscal 2009, due to “inevitably rising
impairments”, which stood at RUB154.7bn, the bank said in a
statement.
But president and chairman Andrei
Kostin said the bank had made significant progress during the year
and was optimistic about 2010 and beyond.
The bank’s share of retail lending
in Russia rose to 10.2% in 2009, from 8.8% in 2008, with its retail
lending portfolio increasing by 12.5% to RUB435.3bn, “clearly
outperforming the market”, the bank said.
Retail deposits increased 34.6% to
RUB476.5m at the end of 2009 compared to RUB354.1m a year before,
giving the group 6% of the market.
Net fee and commission income also rose significantly, up by
more than a quarter (29%) to RUB21bn, with net interest income also
up 34% at RUB152.2bn.
