Sberbank approved record dividends of 850.2 billion rubles

Sberbank's shareholders approved a record-breaking dividend in the bank's history for 2025 in the amount of 850.2 billion rubles (37.64 rubles per ordinary and preferred shares). The decision was made at the annual meeting of the General Meeting of Shareholders.

According to the press service of Sberbank, on July 20, the persons entitled to receive dividends will be determined.

German Gref, President and Chairman of the Management Board of Sberbank, said that last year Sberbank earned 1.7 trillion rubles in net profit, which is 7.9% higher than the result of 2024. "Today, the shareholders decided to allocate 50% of this net profit to dividend payments. The total amount of dividends will amount to 850.2 billion rubles, of which half will go to the state budget," Gref said. He specified that more than 2.4 million shareholders of Sberbank will also receive these payments — over the past year their number has increased by almost 600 thousand.

"This year is special for Sberbank — we are celebrating its 185th anniversary. For almost two centuries, the company has gone from a savings bank to one of the largest technology companies in the country. We will continue to strengthen our technological leadership by investing in innovation and artificial intelligence. This is our contribution to the future, which directly affects the overall level of development of the entire national economy," said the President of Sberbank.

The shareholders also approved Sberbank's annual report for 2025 and elected a new 14—member supervisory board.

According to Anton Siluanov, Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation, in 2025, Sber confirmed the status of a strategic development institute, demonstrating high reliability. According to him, the federal budget will receive more than 425 billion rubles. "The funds will be used, among other things, to finance priority government programs. The dividends of the Sber Group are being transformed into real resources for the development of our country's economy and improving the quality of life of Russians," the Finance Minister stressed.
