Russia's largest bank Sberbank RUS:SBER will revise its 2026 risk cost forecast and lower its forecast for corporate lending growth, Chief Financial Officer Taras Skvortsov told Reuters on Wednesday.

Skvortsov said in an interview that a deterioration in the quality of corporate loans was cause for concern, but the first half of the year was better than expected.
