Seven out of eleven systemically important banks were faced with the outflow of funds from foreign currency deposits, says analyst Maxim Osadchiy, BKF bank. Among them are VTB ($470.9mn), Raiffeisenbank ($55.9mn), Alfa-Bank ($49.1mn), Unicredit ($18.4mn), Otkritie ($13.7mn), Credit Bank of Moscow ($26.7mn) and Rosbank ($23.8mn). 

Low profitability became the key reason for closing the foreign currency deposits.
