the VBI deal is too small to make a difference to Sberbank currently, in our view
Because VBI has a very small asset base and fairly tiny market shares in all of its markets, Sberbank essentially agreed to acquire several banking licenses rather than a major regional player
VBI has a fairly low-risk business model and long-term experience in Central and Eastern Europe, and so it ticked all the boxes for Sberbank.
Sberbank's purchase of VBI is one of the defining deals of the new paradigm, with a cash-rich business from a so-called emerging market, buying assets from a capital-poor business from a so-called developed market
Sberbank has taken a very disciplined approach to its expansion into Central and Eastern Europe, which is of supreme strategic importance for it. VBI is the right size for Sberbank
