“The Bank of Russia, realizing its strategy of withdrawing from the capital of the public joint-stock company Bank Financial Corporation Otkritie, is beginning to prepare for the sale of shares at organized auctions,” the statement says.
As noted, at the same time, an alternative way of selling to a strategic investor is being considered.
The Central Bank will accept applications from interested parties from 11 to 22 October 2021.
In February, the head of the bank "FC Otkritie" Mikhail Zadornov, in an interview with RT, assessed the situation in the economy and the financial sector.
