Central Bank: This Old, Old Rate

68

The penultimate gift of the Central Bank


4,25 percent per annum. Only in the Central Bank and only for banks. And all the same! Modern Russia did not know such lending rates, although affordable credit was the norm both before the revolutions of 1917 and in Soviet times.

It would seem that the decisiveness of the Bank of Russia management, confidently following the course towards the maximum possible easing of the monetary policy, can only be welcomed. But let's try to figure out who benefits and who harms the long-awaited financial stability today. Complete financial freedom in Russia has never been, and never will be. And this is absolutely correct: the 90s convincingly proved that only criminals need it.



However, it is not only the crisis situation in the real sector of the economy that can now prevent definitively getting rid of some kind of inflationary pad in the form of a rate slightly higher than official inflation. After all, the financial sector is also teetering on the brink of survival, since in the current conditions it has sharply limited opportunities to use any profitable instruments.

It's no secret that the demand for money in Russia has fallen due to quarantine so much that even negative credit rates will hardly stimulate it. However, by definition, things cannot reach such extremes in Russia. As the classic says: "This cannot be, because this can never be."

But that's not the point. Entrepreneurs do not go for loans not because of interest, but because today very few people expect to return even the borrowed funds themselves. Nevertheless, in the business environment and in the business media, they are seriously discussing not only the summer reduction in the key rate to 4,25 percent, but also the autumn perspective of 4 percent per annum - as quite real and even necessary.

However, such calculations are still the lot of optimists. Practitioners are inclined to believe that the current conditions will remain at least until the end of the year, and the Bank of Russia can postpone its latest rate cut indefinitely.


Moreover, the decline that the Central Bank made on Friday was taken into account ahead of time by many banks. So, just a week before the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia, sixteen banks from the top-100 list promptly reduced lending rates, some of them by 1,5 percentage points at once.

At the same time, the conditions for saving funds in credit institutions became less attractive. Moreover, this happened ahead of the curve, which confirms the fact that the banking community did not doubt what decision the Board of Directors of the Central Bank would make on Friday. So, according to the monitoring carried out by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the average maximum rate on deposits of the 10 largest banks in the second decade of July dropped to 4,55%, whereas at the beginning of this month it was 4,63%.

It is characteristic that the incentive for such decisions on loans and deposits, most likely, was not competition at all, but the softening of the conditions for access to loans of banks closest to the Central Bank, that is, from the top ten. There are analysts who immediately began to sarcastically about this: they say, money is making money again, but today the trend itself is important.

For many years, the gap in the level of interest rates, loans and deposits, allowed Russian banks to exist very comfortably, even without access to foreign capital. As you know, capital is traditionally much cheaper than Russian capital. But now we can only dream of these greenhouse conditions.

With the level of interest rates on deposits, which develops after the next decrease in the Central Bank's rate, one cannot exclude an outflow of client funds. Investors - the public is already very sensitive, they can again run into dollars. And this almost guarantees a strong pressure on the ruble and refutes all forecasts about its possible strengthening.

The real effect of the key rate cut, which is clearly hindered by growing insurance and risk premiums by leaps and bounds, will most likely be seen only in the least risky sectors of the market. That is, in the raw materials or in those that are directly tied to government orders, such as the lion's share of the construction sector.

The crisis was not ordered


In general, the Bank of Russia makes it quite unambiguous that no one will be allowed to sit on the purchase and sale of currency and passive operations with the instruments of the Central Bank itself indefinitely. It is no coincidence that one of the deputy heads of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina, who commented on the results of the Friday meeting of the Board of Directors, said: "If you want profits, look for clients."

The pandemic has made literally everyone worried about their currencies, and Russia is no exception. Although the Central Bank of the Russian Federation has not yet had to launch the printing press seriously, unlike the IMF and the ECB. However, let's not forget that these gentlemen will always find where to attach surplus paper and electronic money, but in our country rubles are not too much in demand even from our neighbors - the EAEU.

But even without the ruble emission, one of the most unpleasant surprises at the exit from quarantine and self-isolation was the second wave of the ruble depreciation. The majority of experts, and it does not matter whether they adhere to liberal beliefs or have signed up to "catastrophists", continues to insist that the ruble will certainly win back in the fall.

Over the course of three months of complete quarantine, the ruble very rarely lost track of, and, although it did not add often either, it still strengthened compared to the March indicators. The ever lower rate of the Central Bank should in any case help to ensure that it does not fall at least much. However, for real strengthening, other factors are needed, and above all, growing foreign exchange earnings.

Central Bank: This Old, Old Rate

July inflation turned out to be higher than expected - just 0,4%, which in annual terms gives almost 5 percent. This is what could have slowed down the adoption of the last decision on the rate, but, as we see, the members of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank are not shy people. In addition, they could well have been reassured by the data on the growth rate of retail lending. In June they accounted for 1% MoM, which is significantly higher than forecasted and confirms that business activity is recovering faster than expected.

One can treat differently the current rather controversial policy of narrowing the money supply in order to reduce the cost of credit. One can also complain that deposits are becoming less and less profitable. But if citizens and businesses get a rare opportunity to reduce interest rates on loans, this will give an additional synergistic effect.

Thanks to the reduction in the debt burden, the state and business have good chances of freeing up resources, and considerable ones, for consumption and investment. At the same time, a more affordable mortgage in any scenario, even the most critical one, will stimulate construction and help accelerate the recovery from the economic downturn.

The Bank of Russia, together with the Ministry of Finance, we cannot but give them their due, have managed to minimize the unsecured cash infusion into the economy. Now, by all indications, they are simply trying to competently take advantage of the low base effect.

And the situation contributes to this: it is still developing in such a way when the obligatory warming up of the economy after the crisis began to very quickly adsorb all surplus funds that appear in circulation. Someone may consider this a paradox, but in Russia after the pandemic, it seems that the notorious "effective" Keynesian demand is being formed.

Recall that the British economist Lord John Maynard Keynes, better known as the founder of the post-war dollar financial system, the Bretton Woods, was closely involved in the problems of demand. And the paradox is that the main demand comes from entrepreneurs and banks, and not from the end consumer. Although he, an ordinary consumer, for all his poverty, having come out of quarantine, is simply forced to not skimp on expenses.

          Today, not all Russian banks are represented in Crimea. The largest and most significant credit institutions: Sberbank of Russia; VTB; Gazprombank; Rosselkhozbank; Alfa-Bank - there are no branches in Crimea and Sevastopol. According to the opinions of authorities in this area, activity in Crimea can lead to negative consequences in the international activities of banks, making it difficult for them to access some resources and operations. Therefore, servicing Crimea has become the business of smaller banks, more focused on operations within the country.
          Compared to 2017, the total number of Russian banks operating in Crimea has decreased. Now there are 6 banks operating in Crimea: RNKB, Morskoy Bank, Bank ChRD OJSC, JSB RUSSIA JSC, Genbank JSC, IS Bank JSC. I don’t think there are foreign capital in the capital structure of these banks.

            Nice man! (+) for your efforts.
            The only conversation is that even Sberbank is not a purely Russian bank.
            The share of the Russian Government in the authorized capital of Sberbank is 52,32% of voting shares. The rest of Sberbank's shareholders are more than 8273 legal entities and individuals. The share of individuals in the authorized capital of the bank is about 2,84%, and the share of foreign investors is over 45%.

            And there are such banks with such an authorized capital that to call them banks - the language does not turn ...

          And without a share in the authorized capital, there are enough levers of pressure. Their "gray" beneficiaries are not poor people, and they clearly do not "reclusive / puritanical" in Russia. This "Gazdep" oppositionist may never go abroad, but the "true patriot" cannot do that - after all, he certainly needs to "carry" there his / the "values" deprived of the people. Something, but "to trade from under the counter" and dummy intermediaries for the sake of this "great goal" they learned in the 80s and 90s. They are "not dealt with" only because the "line of the party of gourmets" completely suits the "hated West". Sanctions - they only negatively affect the People of Russia and serve to achieve the total degradation of our State as such. The rest is tinsel.

      In our country, a very high degree of monopolization of the banking sector and state control over them are somewhat non-standard for this type of country. However, this does not interfere with the pumping of money abroad and was also found in Latin America, Africa and Asia. But rather, in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century.

          In our country, there is a systematic reduction of banks. On July 24, the RF Central Bank revoked four banks' banking licenses at once. In 2019, license revocation affected 28 banks, 15 more were liquidated. Is it good or bad? Both good and bad. It is bad, because the monopolization of the banking sector by large players is underway, therefore the consumer will not have much choice. It is good because not all "adequate" banks are being closed, that is, those that are involved in the withdrawal of finances abroad.

            In our Russia, it is ridiculous and cynical to talk about planning:
            Until 1986, there were 6 banks in the USSR:

            State Bank of the USSR (State Bank of the USSR);
            Bank for Foreign Economic Affairs of the USSR (Vnesheconombank of the USSR);
            Industrial and Construction Bank of the USSR (Promstroybank of the USSR);
            Agroindustrial Bank of the USSR (Agroprombank of the USSR);
            Bank for Housing and Communal Services and Social Development of the USSR (Zhilsotsbank of the USSR);
            Bank of Labor Savings and Lending to the Population of the USSR (Savings Bank of the USSR).

            In 1988 the first commercial bank was registered.
            Today in 2020, there are 396 operating banks in Russia.

            It is clear who these structures serve. The growth in the number of aircraft factories in our country is clearly lagging behind these rates.

      Why ahead? For a month after "zeroing" with slightly rising oil prices, the euro (and the dollar) smoothly rose from 79 to almost 85 per ruble. Since the beginning of the year, by 23%. With all that it implies.
      The authorities, of course, will save the raw material monopolies, but to lower the ruble too much, what then is to live on? After all, we live by imports.

    "One can complain that deposits are becoming less and less profitable. But if citizens and businesses get a rare opportunity to reduce interest on loans, this will give an additional synergistic effect."
    It's interesting which one? If a person has several million rubles on deposits, why would he take a loan? That's right, a person will take a loan in order to somehow close a hole in his budget. That is, the poor will become even poorer, and the rich - richer, that's the whole effect.
    As for business, small businesses are not given loans, while the average one buys everything under lease agreements. For example, almost all forestry equipment is purchased from Finland, Sweden and other countries.
    Well, big business has its own banks.

      Strange logic. People (normal) take loans not for closing holes (this leads to default), but for making a serious purchase. Cars, apartments, treatment. And here the theme with a low% starts to play with different colors. I would not call a mortgage at 4-5% bonded, it is quite real. Throw in a down payment of 20-30% and improve your living conditions with a very reasonable overpayment. But certainly those who live from salary to salary are not cold not hot.

          Just do not forget that buying precious metals physically (in bars, coins, etc.) you pay 18% VAT. And if you take virtual metal (no VAT) - if everyone receives a kerdyk, then no one will give it to you or simply "denominate" the payment

              In fact, gold bullion is only relevant for the conservative preservation of a huge amount that you do not need tomorrow or in 5 years.
              While your topic is pound / euro / dollar (the latter is now under an easy question).
              And in order to understand whether it is profitable for you or not, look at the dynamics over the past 5 years in relation to the ruble, and you will see that on average you will still be in the black (and even more than the contribution in rubles or gold, including VAT).
              If you're not into stocks, this is your only option. (+ money sometimes hangs with stocks, you also can't convert it right away).

              If you don’t believe in global collapse, invest in virtual metals. Sberbank does this, but there is a difference between buying and selling.

                Basically, yes, I meant "long" savings. I used to save up for another apartment to rent it out and never work again, or at least not work in a responsible job. And now I don't even know, but why would I save up - for a beautiful marble monument and a place in the cemetery in Jerusalem? Cars, resorts and all that interest me a little. I have all the household appliances. Unless only in case of unemployment.
                As for the shares, they are in fact denominated in rubles or dollars. Both are pretty dubious investments. I am not a specialist, but I heard that there is such a thing in JSC as an additional issue. I didn't go into the details, but this smells of deception a mile away ...

    The Central Bank too zealously fulfills the requirements of the IMF, which prohibits investments in rubles, prohibits restricting currency speculation and the withdrawal of capital ...
    The central bank requires banks to issue loans on collateral - and therefore they don't even open design departments. Why would they? The problem is that small and medium-sized businesses have no collateral. In addition, it should be noted that the policy of the Central Bank is such that [banks] assess collateral at 30-50% of market value. As a result, they actually endanger any company that receives a loan from being raided. Because it is more profitable for the bank to do so that the company cannot pay off and then take its collateral. The bank then gets more and immediately, instead of waiting for the client to pay everything. As for big business, it also has problems. The larger the bank, the larger the business must be in order to be protected from raider takeover.

    "And the paradox is that the main demand comes from entrepreneurs and banks, and not from the end consumer. Although he, an ordinary consumer, for all his poverty, having come out of quarantine, is simply forced to not skimp on expenses."
    Really. Paradox. I'm not even afraid of this word "squiggle"!
    And it never occurs to any professional from economists / financiers that an ordinary consumer simply has no money? In order to shuffle after the quarantine, then?
    Doesn't it occur to any of the same professionals that if your schemes do not work, then these are erroneous schemes, and erroneous calculations of the standard of living in the country?
