Sberbank believes that market is favorable for placement of eurobonds
January 25, 2012, Davos (Switzerland) - Sberbank thinks that current situation on international markets is favorable for placement of eurobonds. That was told by the Presidents, Chairman of the Board of Sberbank of Russia German Gref behind the scenes of the World Economic Forum. Head of Sberbank also spoke about intention of the bank to gradually raise interest rates on loans to individuals.
German Gref believes that current exchange rates are optimal for the Russian economy: ´Strengthening of ruble in the present situation would negatively affect export oriented enterprises. I think that in the near future, subject to decisions in Europe, we will observe primarily fluctuations around the figures we can see today.´
Commenting on the situation in Eurozone German Gref passed an opinion that withdrawal of Greece from eurozone would be the optimal decision both for Greece itself, and for the European Union. ´It the case when horrible end is better than endless horror, ´ - he stressed. ´Probably we should speak not only about Greece, but also about other peripheral countries with non-competitive economies, ´ - added the head of Sberbank.
Currently German Gref participates in the meeting of the International Business Council (IBC), working within the Forum. The first day of the WEF will end up with official reception of Sberbank - ´Sberbank Night.´
