Russia's top bank Sberbank may review its five-year strategy due to the current market situation, chief executive German Gref told reporters, but later said he thought the bank's five-year goals were achievable.
"There are divergences [from the strategy] for cost of risk, net profit," Gref told reporters after a meeting of the bank's supervisory board.
"By the end of the first half of 2015 we will return to the strategy and possibly revise it given the situation on the market," he said.
Gref also said he thought the chances of a crisis situation happening were "high," without elaborating.
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.
