The USD weakened against EUR in the world forex market early in the month. This caused the USD exchanged rate to decrease against the Russian currency.

The USD exchange rate was adversely affected in the world forex market by an IMF report stating that the UDS exchange rate still remained significantly high to be able to reduce the deficit of US current accounts. A new rise of oil prices after the demise of the king of Saudi Arabia should be highlighted among the factors effecting the RUR exchange rate in the internal foreign exchange market.

Second week: the USD exchange rate continued to decline, while the EUR exchange rate continued to grow as effected by the world foreign exchange rates during the second week of the month. Constantly growing oil prices had an adverse affect on the exchange rate and submerged an increase in the basic interest rate by 3.5% per annum.

The situation in the foreign exchange market changed since the second half of the month: the USD exchange rate started to grow, while the EUR exchange rate began to drop. Again, the changes in trends in the local foreign exchange market in the first half of the month were caused by the changes in the world forex market showing a growth in the demand for US assets with subsequent increase in USD exchange rate due to favorable growth outlooks for the US economy and interest rates. Favorable situation with ruble liquidity also can be considered an internal factor of the USD strengthening. At the end of the month, the RUR exchange rate grew against the USD and declined against the EUR as effected by the movements in the world forex market. The changes in the worldwide trend were caused by positive statistics on EU countries and negative one on United States. A new rise of oil prices, which reached $70 per barrel in New-York, exerted an additional pressure upon the USD exchange rate.

Polevoi Efficiency of Banking Transactions in Quarter I of The return on assets (ROA) value averaged 2.8% in annual figures for active banks ( Sberbank is not included ) over Quarter I of 200413. This slightly below the total for 2004 ( 3% ), but corresponds to the figures in 2003.

Several tendencies that effected the Russian banking sector in 2004 remained the same. Russian banks show a fairly low differentiation of the ROA by asset-size group. The crisis events of 2004 had a specific impact on a spread of ROA values. Profitability of small banksТ transactions increased as it did in the period of the large-scale banking crisis in 1998. As Figure 1 suggests, the smallest banks were loss-making in 200314. However, the same banks could recover their profitability as early as the first half of 2004 ( group 6, Figure 2 ) ( the ROA accounted for 2.5% in annual figures ). This group remained profitable in Quarter I of 2005 ( the ROA accounted for 2.6% in that period).

ROA in Groups Categorized by Size of Assets ( Sberbank RF is not included ) in Herein and hereinafter the relative earning indicators over the period are represented by an average size of assets over the period. Group indicators were calculated as weighted average values.

The banks are ranked by groups categorized by size of assets as of certain date. Group 1 includes 10 largest banks ( neither Sberbank RF nor Vneshekonombank are included ), Group 2 includes 40 banks following Group 1 down the list, Group 3 includes 50 banks following Group 2 down the list, Group 4 includes 100 banks following Group 3 down the list, Group 5 includes 300 banks following Group 4 down the list, and Group includes other (the smallest) banks.

ROA in Groups Categorized by Size of Assets in Annual Figures in Quarter 1 of 2005 ( Sberbank RF is not included ) In addition, Group 1 ( the largest banks ) shows a comparatively high ROA value (Group 1, Figures 1- 3 ). Though the average value of Group 1 accounted for 2.4% in 2003, the average value of profitability of banking transactions even slightly increased in Quarter 2 of 2004 ( up to 2.7% ). This value grew further to account for 3.1% in Quarter 1 of 2005 thus exceeding the average value, although the group of the largest banks ( Sberbank RF is not included ) quite often demonstrated the lowest ROA value ( for instance, in 1998, 1999 and 2001 ).

The profit-to-capital values are more substantially differentiated ( the ROE value ). Since mediumsize and small banks generally show higher capital-base-to-assets ratio than large banks, the ROE values range from 29 to 9%, while the ROA values are close ( Figure. 4 ). Though, as indicated by the Diagram, the group of banks ranked 11 to 50 by size of assets shows a lower ROA value, it also falls behind the nearby groups by ROE value.
