Midsized lender Petrocommerce, part of IFD Kapital group controlled by executives at LUKoil, is unlikely to conduct an initial public offering in the next couple of years due to fragile markets, its executive director said Wednesday.
"Given the current market environment, it is quite optimistic to talk about an exit in the next couple of years," Pavel Neumyvakin said at the opening of a new office.
Leonid Fedun, chairman of the board at Petrocommerce and the second-largest shareholder in LUKoil, told Kommersant last year that the lender might launch an IPO in two or three years.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
