Sber Projects Key Rate Reduction to 10-12%; Aims to Boost Investment Activity

The bank's optimism follows a revival in corporate lending, which saw issuance surpass 900 billion rubles over the past two months. However, businesses are predominantly borrowing for operational needs rather than expansion.
