New approach to assessing banks’ economic situation: consultation paper

25 June 2025
News

The Bank of Russia will improve the tools for supervisory assessment of banks, in particular their economic situation. The regulator plans to significantly adjust the current assessment method to rank banks by risk level more accurately. The new, more risk-sensitive approach will become the foundation for the Bank of Russia’s dialogue with banks’ senior management and will help create a framework for calculating differentiated rates of insurance contributions to the Compulsory Deposit Insurance Fund in the future.

The new method will take into consideration the existing practice of supervisory assessment, specific features of the Russian banking system, and the best foreign practices of assigning supervisory ratings to credit institutions. The Bank of Russia plans to develop the regulatory framework in 2025–2027 in order to start using the new method as early as 2027–2028.

More details are given in the consultation paper Changing the Approach to Assessing Banks’ Economic Situation. Please send your comments regarding the issues outlined in this consultation paper and your suggestions to the Bank of Russia up to 1 August 2025 inclusive. This issue will also be discussed at the Financial Congress of the Bank of Russia, which will be held in St Petersburg on 2–4 July 2025.
