DEVELOPING OUR BRANCH AND
SUBSIDIARY NETWORK ABROAD
As of 31 December 2011, Sberbank had a branch office in India and
two representative offices in Germany and China. The Sberbank Group
included three subsidiary banks based in Kazakhstan, Ukraine and
Belarus.
In February 2012, Sberbank closed a deal to acquire a 100% stake
in Volksbank International AG - an Eastern European subsidiary
of Austria's Oesterreichische Volksbanken AG banking group. The
deal will give Sberbank access to the markets of Austria, the Czech
Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia and Bosnia
and Herzegovina.
Sberbank also acquired a 99.145% stake in the Swiss bank SLB Com-
mercial Bank AG. Sberbank intends to use the new asset as a base to
develop its European syndicated lending and trade finance business,
alongside other financial services for major customers.
Sberbank's branch office in India
Sberbank's branch office in India (New Delhi) was established as
a strategic platform for the development of Sberbank's business, pri-
marily for handling foreign trade settlement flows between India and
Russia and other CIS states in which Sberbank conducts its business.
At the 3rd Russia-India Business Dialogue Forum in October 2011,
Sberbank received an award as the Best Russian Company in India.
Representative office in Germany
This representative office's key objectives are to build and maintain
Sberbank's reputation in Germany and other EU countries as one of
the largest and most reliable banks, and to assist the Bank's various
business units in their interactions with German partners.
In 2011, the representative office provided comprehensive support
to Sberbank during the acquisition of Volksbank International AG.
It also helped organise a meeting of the Economic Elders Club at
which top German political and business officials were present, and
supported participation by Sberbank's management in Euro Finance
Week - a leading venue for meetings between European political and
business leaders.
Representative office in China
The main objective of Sberbank's representative office in China is to
develop relationships with local banking, commercial and govern-
ment entities in order to promote the business of the Bank and its
clients in the region. In 2011, the representative office worked with
Chinese financial institutions to actively expand cooperation in areas
such as correspondent banking and trade finance.
