“Take Sberbank. State Bank. There were different periods of management of these banks. Take the period "before Gref" and "after Gref." We will say that. Before Gref, it was believed that the savings bank was ineffective; you remember that there the branches even closed for lunch. New management came, German Oskarovich came, made the bank sweet, ”the minister said.
According to him, it all depends on the managers and the team.
“Managers who work with an asset. And so it is everywhere: be it a private business, be it a state-owned business. I don’t see the difference here, the main thing is what strategy, what kind of people have come. Cadres decide everything, ”added Siluanov.
On February 13, Siluanov announced that the government approved the bill on the Cabinet’s purchase of a controlling stake in Sberbank from the Central Bank.
The head of the Ministry of Finance noted that the government will continue to interact with the current leadership of Sberbank and will support Gref in his endeavors.
It is expected that the purchase price of a stake in Sberbank will be about 2.5 trillion rubles.
Later, the corresponding bill was submitted to the State Duma.
