Individual savings deposits in banks up sharply

In just the first two months of 2022, individual savings deposits in banks reached VND159 trillion ($6.91 billion), higher than the VND158 trillion ($6.86 billion) recorded in 2021 as a whole. According to analysts, this “unusual” movement was mainly due to commercial banks raising their deposit interest rates. The slowdown in other investment channels, such as real estate, securities, and corporate bonds, also resulted in cash flow returning to the banking system.
