Russian financial sector performance and risks

Overview

In late 2026, the Russian Ministry of Finance reported that dividend income for the federal budget reached 722 billion rubles, with total 2026 revenue estimated at approximately 807.6 billion rubles. This income, driven largely by the financial, oil, gas, and transport sectors, is projected to grow steadily through 2029.

Simultaneously, the Russian banking sector reported record profits of 3.7 trillion rubles for the first nine months of the year, equaling the total profit from the previous year. However, analysts have raised concerns regarding the stability of these gains. There are reports that the Central Bank of Russia may be allowing banks to maintain insufficient risk provisions, potentially delaying the recognition of losses. Consequently, the volume of non-performing loans lacking adequate provisions or collateral rose from 6.1 trillion to 7.2 trillion rubles within a single month, representing about 70% of the banking sector’s total capital buffer.
