With 27% FX adjusted lending growth in 2011, Russia overtakes Turkey to become the credit growth leader in EEMEA. Momentum accelerated in 2H, when Russian loan growth was annualizing at 30-35%, widening the gap to Turkeys 10-15%. In a world of sluggish credit growth Russia stands out, offering an attractive risk/reward which we believe GEM investors should not ignore, particularly once political noise tapers after March elections.
