The Financial Times reported the information.
The outlet notes that 7 European banks with assets in Russia, namely Raiffeisen Bank International, UniCredit, ING, Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, and OTP, reported a combined profit of over €3 billion in 2023. This figure is three times higher than the amount recorded in 2021.
The report also says that the profits of the seven banks were partially generated by the funds that the institutions cannot take out of Russia.
According to the Financial Times analysis, the increase in profitability is the reason why European banks paid about €800 million in taxes to Russia last year, when in 2021 the amount was €200 million.
