Strengthening supervision over the commercial banks activities in the deposit market is one of the most controversial issues among banking professionals and practitioners in Russia. The paper discusses the main factors determining the interest rate policy of Russian banks in the retail deposit market. The authors systematized the characteristics of the banking system development in Russia. Based on market data, the characteristics of the retail deposit market are summarized, as well as the results of the econometric analysis of the effect of maximum rates on individual performance indicators of commercial banks. The authors justify the need to revise the approaches to regulating the interest rate policy of banks.References
