Vlasnici VTB banke, druge po veličini u Rusiji, prodaće svoje poslovanje u Srbiji, otkriva Blic.

Kako navode, za kupovinu postoje dva ozbiljna kandidata.

Zainteresovane su dve banke, koje već posluju na srpskom tržištu, a u vlasništvu su stranaca. Razgovori između predstavnika matične VTB banke u Rusiji i potencijalnih kupaca su u toku, a završetak celog procesa očekuje se u narednih nekoliko meseci.

Ova saznanja potvrdili su Blicu i u Narodnoj banci Srbije.

Guvernerka Jorgovanka Tabaković kaže za ovaj list da postoje interesi više kupaca.

- Zasad, još niko nije zvanično aplicirao. Mogu samo da kažem da su u pitanju vrlo ozbiljni potencijalni kupci - rekla je Tabaković.

Prema njenim rečima, dok neko od njih ne potvrdi zvanično da je zainteresovan, NBS neće izlaziti u javnost s imenima tih banaka.

VTB banka je u Srbiju došla 2013. godine, kada ju je preuzela Moskovsku banku, koja je počela da posluje kod nas još od 2008. To je bila prva banka u Srbiji sa ruskim kapitalom. Na tržištu Srbije VTB banka ima minimalno učešće, a prošlu godinu, prema izveštaju NBS, završila je sa gubitkom od oko 810 miliona dinara.

VTB grupa, pored banke ćerke u Srbiji, prodaje i svoje banke u Ukraijini i Francuskoj.

The owners of VTB Bank, the second biggest bank in Russia, will sell their operations in Serbia, Blic reports.

As they say, there are two serious candidates for the purchase.

Two banks, foreign-owned and already present in the Serbian market, are interested. Talks between representatives of VTB Bank Russia and potential purchasers are in progress, and the process is expected to be completed in the next few months.

The findings have been confirmed to Blic by the National Bank of Serbia as well.

Governor Jorgovanka Tabakovic says for the newspaper that several purchasers are interested.

– No one has officially applied yet. I can only say that these are very serious potential purchasers – Tabakovic said.

According to her, until one of them officially confirms the interest in the purchase, the NBS will not publically disclose the names of the banks.

VTB Bank arrived to Serbia in 2013, when it took over the Bank of Moscow, which started operating in Serbia back in 2008 as the first bank in Serbia operating with Russian capital. VTB Bank has a minimal share in Serbia’s market. According to the NBS report, it ended 2016 with a loss of around RSD 810 million.

In addition to the Serbian branch, VTB Group is also selling its banks in Ukraine and France.
