Russian banks' profits reached 330 billion roubles in March -central bank

MOSCOW, April 20 (Reuters) - Russian banks' profits rose to 330 billion roubles ($4.05 billion) in March, the central bank said on Thursday, recovering from the impact of Western sanctions on Russia's financial sector that sharply squeezed profits in 2022.

Profits in March were 13% higher than in February. Banks' corporate loan portfolio rose by 1.5% month-on-month in March, the central bank said. Banks bought 130 billion roubles of the government's OFZ treasury bonds that were auctioned in March, the central bank said.
