  • The Russian banking sector is changing astonishingly fast. Corruption and money-laundering are still a problem, but the country's rapid economic growth is fuelling rapid expansion in lending and profits for the top tier of well-managed banks. Russian banks need capital, foreign players are eager to buy in, and mergers and acquisitions are set to blossom.
  • The City of Moscow's rouble bond issues have lost favour with international investors.

Joanne O'Connor reports.
  • Just six years after its inception, Russia's local currency bond market has grown to become a $25bn market, tipped to reach $27bn by the end of this year.

  • Once the preserve of trade finance desks and compulsive risk takers, Russia's loan market suddenly looks over-banked as any of its western European counterparts. Nick Briggs examines how lenders are setting about distinguishing themselves from their rivals and maintaining profitability as margins and fees tumble.
  • By the end of this year, as much as $20bn will have been raised by Russian companies via IPOs since the first one was sold in 1996. It is a staggering amount and one that could be matched next year when as many as 50 IPOs are set to come to market. But there are plenty of warning signs that the good times cannot last forever. Julian Evans reports.
