Interfax-CEA Launches Interfax-1000 – CIS Banks Review
The Interfax Center for Economic Analysis (Interfax-CEA) has issued the Interfax-1000 – CIS Banks review, which for the first time enables a comparison of all the major banks in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other CIS countries in terms of asset value and other financial indicators.
“Banking systems in CIS countries are becoming less disconnected and the flow of bank capital from one country to another is becoming stronger,” Interfax-CEA General Director Mikhail Matovnikov said. “The time has come when for many banks it is a mistake to view them solely within national borders and without an understanding of the wider context it is impossible to understand the development trend of different banking systems,” he said.The top three banks in the Interfax-1000 are Russia’s Sberbank, Vneshtorgbank and Gazprombank and the top ten includes two Kazakh banks (Kazkommertsbank and Bank TuranAlem).
