Sberbank believes that market is favorable for placement of eurobonds

January 25, 2012, Davos (Switzerland) – Sberbank thinks that current
situation on international markets is favorable for placement of eurobonds.
That was told by the Presidents, Chairman of the Board of Sberbank of
Russia German Gref behind the scenes of the World Economic Forum. Head of
Sberbank also spoke about intention of the bank to gradually raise interest
rates on loans to individuals.

German Gref believes that current exchange rates are optimal for the
Russian economy: –Strengthening of ruble in the present situation would
negatively affect export oriented enterprises. I think that in the near
future, subject to decisions in Europe, we will observe primarily
fluctuations around the figures we can see today.–

Commenting on the situation in Eurozone German Gref passed an opinion that
withdrawal of Greece from eurozone would be the optimal decision both for
Greece itself, and for the European Union. –It the case when horrible end
is better than endless horror,– – he stressed. –Probably we should speak
not only about Greece, but also about other peripheral countries with
non-competitive economies,– – added the head of Sberbank.

Currently German Gref participates in the meeting of the International
Business Council (IBC), working within the Forum. The first day of the WEF
will end up with official reception of Sberbank – –Sberbank Night.–
