The story so far
Russia is facing a potential banking crisis driven by the impacts of war and EU sanctions. Reports indicate that bank liquidity is worsening, contributing to a trend where Russian citizens are returning to cash withdrawals.
Coverage from Reuters highlights an exclusive European intelligence report on the risk of crisis, while other outlets such as Devdiscourse and Ukrainian National News (UNN) emphasize growing debt burdens and economic risks. News reports that the Central Bank currently sees no need for additional measures despite public concern.
Future developments depend on the trajectory of the debt burden and whether the Central Bank implements new measures to stabilize the banking sector.
