The author shows that enhancing the role of the banking system in Russia is plausible mainly on the account of its internal modernization, since the stage of its most rapid growth has elapsed.

Market agents should start to feel they can count not only with a more rigid control and a heavier regulation burden, but also with a more positive development stimulus.
