“The first six months of the year were rich in events.

Forbes again included our bank into the top hundred of Russian credit institutions as regards reliability factor.
“Since the beginning of this year, the Bank’s net assets grew by 3% to reach 102 billion roubles. The capital grew by 4% to 11.6 billion roubles. The net profit equaled to 516 million roubles. We have for a long time been in the list of Russia’s Top-70 banks on the volume of assets, in the Top-25 on mortgage crediting, and in Top-10 on issuance of credits to small and midsize businesses.
“Over the past six months, the number of our clients – legal entities – grew to 34,000. The volume of credits issued to real economy amounted to 23 billion roubles. Our corporate credit portfolio showed a 9% growth and reached 52.5 billion roubles. Deposits of legal entities exceeded 16 billion roubles.

Altogether, the Bank issued more than a thousand mortgage loans in the first six months of the year, to the total amount of 1.8 billion roubles.
