40. Capital Adequacy Ratio

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are (i) to comply with the regulatory capital requirements set by the Bank of Russia and (ii) to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

According to requirements set by the Bank of Russia statutory capital ratio has to be maintained above the minimum level of 10%. As at 31 December 2012 the regulatory capital adequacy ratio was 12.6% (31 December 2011: 15.0%). Compliance with capital adequacy ratios set by the Bank of Russia is monitored monthly with reports outlining the calculation.

The Group also monitors capital adequacy ratio based on Basel Accord to make sure it maintains a level of at least 8%. As at 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011, Capital Adequacy Ratios calculated by the Group in accordance with the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards (July 1988, updated to November 2005) and Amendment to the Capital Accord to incorporate market risks (updated November 2005), commonly known as Basel 1 requirements, were as follows:
