Dear friends,

Want to go on a cruise, but it's not departing from your city? Now it's easier to book. Simply book a cruise on the Ivan Bunin and receive a 2,000 ruble discount on air or train tickets.

Departure cities for the cruise: Rostov-on-Don, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Samara, Saratov and Volgograd.

Promotion "2000 rubles per ticket":

A 2,000 ruble discount per person is available from February 1 to April 15, 2026, upon presentation of an air or train ticket for select cruises on the Ivan Bunin motor ship. The offer applies only to main seats and can be combined with other discounts and promotions specified for the voyages. It is only available for new bookings and upon full payment during the promotional period—from February 1 to April 15, 2026. Seats are limited.

In the cities along the route, you'll discover new and interesting places, and on board the Ivan Bunin, you'll find everything you need for a pleasant stay: a small pool and sunbathing areas on the sun deck, three bars, a restaurant, a concert hall, a reading lounge, exercise equipment, and a sauna.

During the ship's complete modernization, an emphasis was placed on the environmental safety of the vessel itself and the materials used. After the interior was renovated, using precious woods and other eco-friendly materials, the ship even became known as "Switzerland on the Water."

For the 2024 navigation season, the ship's two-room "Lux" cabins have been updated, as well as furniture in the concert hall and pool area. A tea station with cozy sofas has been installed, and a children's club has been equipped for the youngest travelers.

Financial news: Corporate lending showed moderate growth in December.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Source: Central Bank of Russia

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Corporate lending (including bonds) increased by 0.5% in December, up from 1.9% in November. This slowdown is typical for the end of the year, as government contract executors receive their payments and require less financing. Overall, growth for 2025 is expected to be 11.8% (18.1% for 2024).

Household mortgage debt increased by a significant 2.4% in December, largely due to strong demand for the Family Mortgage program. The annual increase was 9.0%, just slightly below the 10.9% expected in 2024.

The consumer loan portfolio continued to shrink (-0.7% in December) amid high interest rates and tight macroprudential policies. It decreased by 4.6% year-over-year after growing by 11.3% in 2024.

Household deposits in banks increased by a significant 5.6% in December, driven by the traditional advance payment of January social payments (including pensions and child benefits) and the payment of annual bonuses. For the year, growth was 16.2%, up from 27.7% in 2024.

The growth of legal entities' funds in December amounted to a slight 0.7%, and the annual growth was a moderate 7.7%, compared to 12.9% for 2024: the slowdown may be due, among other things, to a decrease in export revenues.

In December, banks' net profits fell by 55% to 176 billion rubles, due to increased reserve contributions and the year-end increase in operating expenses (primarily advertising and personnel costs). Overall, the sector is projected to earn 3.5 trillion rubles in 2025. Most of this profit (1.8 trillion rubles) is being used to replenish capital, allowing banks to continue lending to the economy. Banks also distribute a portion of their profits as dividends, including to the budget.
