The net profit of the Russian banking sector in September 2026 amounted to 414 billion rubles, a decrease of 5.9% compared to the previous month. Annual return on equity decreased to 23% from 24%. This is reported in the materials of the Bank of Russia.
Core profit increased by 4% to 448 billion rubles due to a decrease in deductions to reserves to 165 billion rubles. In particular, banks recognized fewer losses on investments in non-core businesses (-35 billion rubles).
The total financial result of the banking sector in September decreased to 401 billion rubles from 436 billion rubles in August, which is slightly less than the profit due to a moderate negative revaluation of equity securities (-13 billion rubles).
