Profitability in the banking sector in Mikhailov L. V., Sycheva L. I.

On the basis of a sample of 971 banks, including all the biggest ones, some profitability indices of the banking sector were analyzed. The profit to assets ratio in the banking sector in 2007 was 3%, which is close to the level observed in the years 2004 - 2006. The sum of the banking sectorТs funds proper in one year increased nearly by 58 %.

The dynamics of profitability parameters The profit to assets ratio in the banking sector in 2007 was 3%, which is close to the level observed in the years 2004 - 2006, when this index was fluctuating around 2.9 - 3.2 % (see Fig. 1). At the same time, the profit to capital ratio in 2007 was found to be lower than during the two previous years. The strongest influence on the decline in the profit to capital ratio was produced by the increasing capital of Sberbank and Vneshtorgbank, resulting from their additional issues of shares. On the whole, over the year 2007 the amount of the banking sectorТs funds proper grew by nearly 58 % in nominal terms.

If Sberbank is excluded from the analysis, the highest profitability would be demonstrated by those banks whose assets as of the end of the year 2007 fall within the interval from the 11th to the 50th place. The profit to assets ratio as of the end of the period in that group was 3 %11 (see Fig. 2), while the top 10 banks with biggest assets demonstrated this index to be the lowest (1.8 %). That is, despite the economy by scale factor, the biggest banks failed to display better results, in contrast, say, to the situation in 2005 when the yields on transactions in the top 10 group by the size of assets (with Sberbank excluded) were higher than in all the other groups (see Fig. 3). Profitability to capital ratio in the first group was also lower than average and is behind the results displayed by all the group except the latter one (see Fig. 4). As for small-sized banks, whose capital to assets ratio is, as a rule, higher than that of big ones, the profitability to capital ratio in 2007 was 10.9 %.

Hereinafter the relative profitability indices for each period were calculated on the basis of the size of assets and capital as of end of period, due to lack of data on some banks as of a periodТs beginning. Group indices were calculated as average weighted values. The 2007 indices were calculated foe the sample of 971 banks, including all the biggest ones.

More than a half of their received incomes were spent by the banks to cover administrative expenses (4.4 %), net operating income thus amounting to 3.5 %. The growth of reserves was 0.8 %, that of profit to assets ratio - 2.6 %.
