The banking system was subjected to significant forces in 2022, including inflation, rising interest rates, equity and bond market declines, plunging cryptocurrency prices, consequences (political, trade, economic) of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, lingering effects of the COVID pandemic, and—to at least some extent—the reemergence of consumers from pandemic isolation.

As extraordinary and resilient as the post-Covid rally in global private equity proved to be, it was ultimately no match for the Fed. For the first six months of 2022, the industry extended 2021’s record-shattering burst of deal activity, despite persistent inflation, the invasion of Ukraine, and growing tensions with China. Then, in June, when US central bankers issued the first in a series of three-quarter-point interest rate hikes—and their colleagues around the world followed suit—banks pulled back from funding leveraged transactions and dealmaking fell off a cliff, pulling exit and fund-raising totals down with it.

В 2022 году банкам удалось выйти на прибыль в 203 млрд руб. В 2022 году портфель кредитов компаниям заметно вырос (+7,2 трлн руб., или 14,3%), в основном за счет замещений внешних долгов, финансирования застройщиков жилья, промышленных и торговых компаний. Нефтегазовые и горно-металлургические компании активно конвертировали валютные кредиты в рублевые, но почти не нарастили долг перед банками. Качество кредитов ожидаемо ухудшилось, но осталось приемлемым с учетом созданных резервов.
