As per RNCOS report on “Russia Banking Sector Analysis (2006-2009)", it has been found that foreign capital is rapidly increasing its presence in to the various sectors of Russian economy.

Auctions for the insolvent oil company Yukos’ asset, initial public offerings by the state run retail saving-bank Sberbank, and govt. controlled foreign trade-bank VTB (Vneshtorgbank) remained the key contributors to the sharp spike in capital inflow in Russia, added Ignatyev.
