Greater exposure to risk in the recent economic crisis had highlighted both the importance and the complexities of managing. The ability to foresee and thoroughly correlate different types of risks towards developing a robust and effective risk management system is a must for any financial institution. A bank’s risk management system not only guarantees bank’s survival, stability and long-term growth in these unstable times, but also ensures it stays ahead of its competitors in this fast-paced environment.

In the wake of the financial crisis, regulators world over are moving towards unified international standards, Basel 2 and Basel 3, to Promote Economic Stability and protect Banks from failure. The Central Bank of Russia has sought to strengthen the Russian banking system in tandem with global efforts, to ensure Russian Banks comply with emerging international standards.

However, the complexity of the Basel 2 and Basel 3 provisions, lack of clarity and decisiveness in Russian regulator’s directives combined with the frequent contradictions inherent in both, has made the implementation of the international standards an immensely difficult process for Russian banks.
