Russian Financials - Getting Better, Like Russia's Football Team

As the countdown begins to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, there are grounds for rising optimism about the home nation's prospects next year. So too we think the outlook for Russia's banks is improving. The economy is gradually healing (our economists project GDP growth of 1.3% in 2017 and 2.0% in 2018), falling interest rates finally seem to be starting to spur credit demand, banking profits are up and even consumer lending is emerging from its long doldrums. But as things improve, discussion of banks sharing more of their new-found gains is picking up. In this note, we update our views on Russia's financial stocks.
