Investing.com -- Russian banks will face difficulties finding new capital in 2026 as the central bank tightens oversight of the banking sector, according to Andrei Kostin, CEO of VTB, Russia’s second largest lender.
"We have a number of changes planned by the central bank aimed at strengthening regulation and calculating capital for non-core assets. Further raising of capital will be a challenging task," Kostin said.
The VTB chief estimated that his bank alone will need 1.7 trillion roubles ($22 billion) over the next five years to meet the central bank’s regulatory requirements.
Kostin pointed out that the Russian equity market lacks sufficient depth for raising capital, particularly due to the absence of Western funds.
