CEE sees capital fall

摘要

In terms of placings at least, it is business as usual in the upper tiers of central and eastern European banking, with the top five institutions, for the most part, unchanged from last year's ranking. However, Tier 1 capital is generally down from last year's figures, in some cases significantly. In the top spot, Sberbank saw the figure fall to $26.86bn from $29.46bn in 2011. Meanwhile, second placed VTB Bank saw a drop from $17-95bn to $13.07bn. In both cases, this fall was accompanied by a slide down the overall Top 1000 ranking from 40 to 49 and 67 to 88, respectively.
