Prime Minister Vladimir Putin chaired a Government meeting

"In the next few months, the state will considerably increase the share of its participation in the banking capital of the second level. This primarily applies to private commercial banks. I'd like to stress once again that I'm talking about the second level, that is, so-called subordinated loans. They are given for a long term and cannot be recalled ahead of time. For this reason, banks register them as their capital. However, creditors do not have the right to take part in administering banks; the ownership of banks does not change, either."

This indicates that despite all the consequences of the global financial turmoil, interest in the Russian economy remains high. At the same time, it is important to realize that tense competition for investment will unfold during post-crisis recovery. Our task is to actively create the best possible environment for this investment in our economy."
