An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Bank lending to companies (including bonds) increased by 2.5% last month, following a 0.7% increase in September – increased demand for financing is typical at the end of the year. As in previous months, ruble-denominated corporate loans accounted for most of the increase.

Household mortgage debt increased by 1.2% after 0.8% in September. Issuance volume increased in both the subsidized and market segments. The share of state-subsidized mortgages decreased slightly but remains high (~75%).

According to preliminary data, the consumer loan portfolio continued to decline (-0.4%, as in September), mainly in the cash loan segment.

Client funds grew by 1.6% after 0.6% in September, half of which came from funds from individuals.

The sector's net profit fell slightly to 310 billion rubles from 367 billion rubles in September, mainly due to foreign exchange revaluation.
