MOSCOW, April 26 (Reuters) - Russia's dominant lender Sberbank on Friday reported a first-quarter net profit of 397.4 billion roubles ($4.32 billion), up 11.3% from a year earlier.

Sberbank made record profits of 1.5 trillion roubles in 2023, a more than five-fold increase on the previous year, as Russia's banking sector recovered from the impact of financial sanctions over Russia's actions in Ukraine.
