Raiffeisen Bank International Denies Allegations in Short-Seller Report
On September 17, 2026, Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) issued a statement from Vienna rejecting the claims made in a short-seller report released earlier in the day. The bank described the allegations as misleading and factually incorrect. RBI is considering legal action against the report's authors. Key errors include identifying non-customers as linked to RBI and misinterpreting the bank's liquidity coverage ratios (LCR). RBI states that its LCR stands at 136% for the group, meeting all regulatory requirements and using conservative estimates.
RBI highlighted issues with the report's representation of its Russian subsidiary and incorrect customer designations. Moreover, RBI clarified the process and compliance related to the sale of its Belarusian operations, which involved extensive regulatory oversight. The bank reaffirmed its communication with relevant authorities concerning legal proceedings and financial transactions.
