BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATA AND CLASSIFICATIONS

Abstract Following the 1988 banking reform in Russia there was an enormous increase in the number of

(registered) commercial banks. The Russian savings bank sector went through a period of

shakeout after the August 1995 interbank crisis. Large banks were able to expand their market

shares in the deposits market as a result of scale advantages and advertising. Entrants

unsuccessfully sought to gain market share by having high deposit rates.
