VTB will need about ₽500 billion to pass the increase in capital adequacy surcharges in 2027-28, said Dmitry Pyanov, First Deputy Chairman of the Bank. In 2027, the Basel capital adequacy surcharges will be increased by 0.75 p.p., and in 2028, by 1.25 p.p.

VTB shareholders have approved an additional issue with a nominal volume of ₽314 billion. Funds are needed to finance a deal with the Wildberries-Russ group, in which VTB buys a 5% stake in its subsidiary WB with the possibility of increasing its share. Bank also does not rule out future additional issues while maintaining state control.

VTB shareholders approved dividends for 2025 in the amount of 25% of net profit, which is ₽9.71 per ordinary share. The last day to purchase shares for receiving dividends is July 17, 2026. The dividend yield may reach 12.96%.

The Bank of Russia has added VTB to the register of information system operators authorized to issue digital financial assets (DFAs). The bank said the license will support the development of its in-house DFA infrastructure. VTB Capital Trading, the group's brokerage subsidiary, had previously obtained the same status.
