VTB has increased lending in the field of housing construction

In 2025, VTB increased its loan portfolio of housing construction projects in the segment of medium and small businesses (SMEs) by 14.3% (up to 1.6 trillion rubles). The portfolio includes 662 facilities under construction with a total area of 11.7 million square meters. m in 73 Russian regions. This was reported by the VTB press service.

"We finance not just construction, but high—demand projects with a clear economy, where modern housing and well—thought—out infrastructure create real value for people and businesses," said Alexey Kushnir, head of the Regional Corporate Business Department and Senior Vice President of VTB. He said that in 2025, the bank provided 413 billion rubles to developers who are building more than 230 facilities in 47 regions of the Russian Federation, "consciously supporting the work of developers in regions that demonstrate high potential."

"Our role is to be a reliable financial partner in this steady trend," Kushnir stressed. Thanks to the bank's support, over 240,000 Russian families will be able to improve their living conditions, the bank noted.

Following the results of the past year, the geography of contracts has changed: Krasnodar and Crimea have taken the first positions, along with the traditional leader, St. Petersburg. This indicates a certain redistribution of investment and construction flows in favor of the most climate-friendly regions of the country, according to VTB.

Novosibirsk (from ninth to fifth place) and Ulyanovsk, which rose to the top ten from 23rd position, are showing active growth. Novorossiya also entered the top 10 (from 37th place to eighth), where VTB holds a leading position in terms of financing housing construction projects.
