Sovcombank’s net profit from January to March 2023 amounted to 23 billion rubles. According to representatives of the bank, the last three quarters have been successful, which allowed the credit institution to successfully cope with the negative consequences of Western sanctions. The resulting profit offset the main losses and a flexible approach to new circumstances ensured the further development of the business. Remember that Western sanctions against Sovcombank were introduced on February 25, 2022.
“Due to periodic profits and extraordinary income, the bank doubled the result of 2021, adapting to the current environment and focused on the most profitable niches. We use the period of support measures from the Central Bank to absorb losses abroad and grow in key indicators,” said Sergey Khotimsky, first vice-president of the Sovcombank board of directors.
