Interest rates on deposits 2022Dec
Published on 2 February 2023
In 2022, households benefit most from the increase in interest rates on bank deposits, as yields of the savings passbooks rise
- The global average interest rate on bank deposits continues to rise to 0.95% in December, leading to an increase of 54 basis points over one year (including 45 basis points between July and December).
- The interest rate on households' deposits almost doubled over one year to 1.18%, driven in particular by two successive increases in the passbook A rate during the year.
- The interest rate on non-financial corporations' deposits, which was almost null at the end of 2021, stands at 0.59%, pushed up by both the rise in rates on deposits with agreed maturity and on overnight deposits.
