    Russia’s VTB Bank Sees Lending Income Collapse Amid War Pressure

    Russia’s second largest bank, VTB Bank PJSC, is seeing a sustained deterioration in profits made from lending, feeding concern at the bank over its stability amid the economic pressures from President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine.

    VTB’s net interest income slumped 49% to 146.8 billion rubles ($1.9 billion) in the six months to June from a year earlier, according to a July 31 results presentation, the latest decline for its core credit operation.

    Such a drop is rare among comparable lenders worldwide, and senior managers at the bank are signaling privately that the data don’t reflect the true seriousness of the situation, according to people familiar with the matter who requested anonymity discussing private matters.

    ...

    The Russian government has relied heavily on banks, especially state-owned ones like VTB, to help finance the war effort. Moscow mandated lenders to give preferential loans to enterprises linked to the military-industrial sector, many of which are difficult to account for in public statistics because of restrictions on the publication of data on war-related spending.

    Massive increases in government spending on the war and measures to support businesses affected by international sanctions stoked spiraling inflation in Russia and prompted the central bank to hike interest rates to a record high 21% to cool the overheating economy. As interest rates rose, banks have seen a e in the non-payment and restructuring of loans.

    ...

    Nabiullina has acted decisively
    to recapitalize failing lenders and clean up Russia’s banking system in the past. In 2017, the central bank spent at least 1 trillion rubles to rescue three large private banks, Otkritie, Promsvyazbank and B&N Bank, a move it said was necessary to save the financial system.

    VTB is one of 13 major lenders considered systemically important by the central bank. Some senior VTB managers have privately pointed to the collapse in net interest income to air concerns that their loan book is in worse shape than other headline statistics imply, according to current and former officials and do ents seen by Bloomberg.

    Reportedly some of these people have been deported back to Ukraine.

    Trump is trying to end this war. Sadly, the Alaska summit is shaping up to be a complete waste of time like the Kim Jun Un summit in Singapore.

    Why is that, DMX?

    Why can't your Trump fix everything like he said he would on (actually before) day one?

    Trump is a terrible deal maker, that's why he has six corporate bankruptcies on his record, including two casinos

    How exactly do you think Trump is trying to end the war other than everyday blather?

    It was obvious hyperbole. I don't love him. I voted for Kamala Harris. Your little brain can't handle that fact.

    No, you just say I do. I have literally listed things for you that I disagree with him on before but you just ignore it.

    You just want to believe that no one could possibly agree with him on anything unless they are a MAGA Trump super fan and that's simply wrong.

    You're wrong about a lot. You can't see clearly with your Trump Derangement Syndrome.

    You always end up being an apologist for him.

    A lot.

    That's not disagreeing with him.
