He also drew attention to the "good indexes in the banking sector in general and in Bashkortostan Republic".

“The credit portfolio is growing and debts are growing, too. This is understandable and connected one with another. The number of banks operating in the republic exceeded 90. However, there are still entities willing to work with us, to open new branches. Number of credit cards is now gaining momentum; we are already the fifth in Russia in number of credit cards. This is also a good result. We are developing a universal electronic card, which also can be an element in the system of electronic cards, including banking ones,” the President of Bashkortostan marked.
