Deposits with CBR Drop by RUR220 Bn
OREANDA-NEWS. Rumors have been circulating on the market for a long time about the negative consequences of Yukos' expected payments to the budget. RUR473 bln ($19 bln) was transferred to the Treasury last Friday, October 26, from Gazprombank, which had been accumulating the money in its accounts. As a result, deposits with the CBR dropped by RUR220 bln during one day. The interbank rates are very high today, reflecting the liquidity tensions. The profit tax payments due are expected to withdraw an additional RUR200 bln from the banking system. According to Alfa Bank's analysts, concerns about liquidity should again dominate the market’s mood this week.
