The Central Bank will give banks benefits for lending to protect critical infrastructure

The Bank of Russia is ready to introduce preferential regulation for loans to protect critical infrastructure, said the head of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina at the International Banking Forum organized by the Association of Banks of Russia. At the same time, the regulator does not see the need to shift the timing of the restoration of surcharges to capital adequacy standards, since banks had enough time to prepare, the head of the Central Bank said.
