Sberbank Pulls out of Europe as Austrian Entity Fails

Sberbank has announced it has been forced to pull out of the European market, after it said it faced large outflows of cash in the region as well as threats to the safety of its employees and branches.

The bank, Russia’s biggest lender, said its European subsidiaries had faced “abnormal cash outflows”, meaning it could no longer supply them with liquidity. However, Sberbank said it had sufficient capital to be able to make payments to all of its depositors.
