It is noted that at the beginning of 2014 the share of 200 largest banks of the CIS accounted for 82.8% of the banking system of CIS countries (for comparison, a year before this indicator was lower - 80,8%).

Among the largest banks the growth rate is heterogeneous: the assets of the TOP 10 banks increased in 2013 by 13.4%, compared to 7.6% in the remaining 190 banks. In opinion of experts of RIA Rating", in the coming years the process of growing concentration of assets, is likely to continue due to the crowding out of smaller banks. By the end of 2013, 55 banks or 27.5% of the fall in the rating showed reduction in assets, while in the past such rating was 19%, and in 2011 - 22%, respectively. The increase in the number of banks with negative growth rates may reflect both an increase in competition at the domestic financial markets and problems in the economies of the CIS countries.
