The government struggles to resume lending and bring down prohibitive rates, which exceed the central bank’s official interest rates by a wide margin, reflecting increased risks in the Russian economy.
”One approach, which is shared by many our colleagues in the government, is that there is no need to regulate, everything will go back into place,” Medvedev said at the meeting with the United Russia party.
”There is another approach, that we need to manage this process through state regulation. From my point of view, this approach is better during the crisis,” he said, adding that the regulation could be put in place for up to one year.
Medvedev said such regulation could include subsidised interest rates but did not elaborate further. The government has already promised subsidies on certain car loans and state guarantees on loans to some enterprises.
Artificially low lending rates may encourage risky business development strategies and potentially create new problems for the economy and the banking sector.
Both Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin have attacked banks for their lending policies in the past, threatening legal action for diverting state support money to operations other than lending to enterprises.
The government also instructed state-controlled banks to grow their credit portfolios by at least 2 percent a month but has so far refrained from setting lending rate targets.
