  • Russian banks may again set a new annual profit record. Experts predict that the profit of Russian banks in 2024 may range from 3.1 to 3.5 trillion rubles. In this case, banks have every chance to update last year's record of 3.3 trillion rubles. However, the Central Bank and other analysts still do not believe in a successful outcome in 2024.
