The interest rate on fixed deposits for January 2024 is 7.74%, as against 6.65% fixed for the same month of the previous year.
Since 2019, there has been an increase in the amount that banks pay on time deposits, which increased from $11,910.54 million in September 2019 to $19,713.10 million in the same month of 2023.
This is due to the country’s inability to obtain cheap financing abroad due to rising country risk, especially after former President Guillermo Lasso announced the death of the cross in May last year.
Thus, financial institutions believe that asking for money from an international bank is the same as receiving it from the time deposits of their domestic clients.
According to DataLab, the total amount of funds placed for a certain period until October 2023 in private banks amounted to $19,970.09 million. The money was divided into the following segments:
Meanwhile, in cooperatives, time deposits reached US$14,479.79 million, totaling US$34,469.88 million in term funds deposited between cooperatives and private banks until October 2023. (HEY)
