In July, the Russians retained the trend for ruble accumulations / news of the economy of Krasnoyarsk and the Krasnoyarsk Territory / Newslab.ru

According to VTB, in July, a portfolio of liability of individuals in Russian banks grew by 793 billion rubles.

The trend for savings continues, despite the decrease in bets. Since the beginning of the year, the Russians have increased the amount of savings by 6 % – now it exceeds 61 trillion rubles.

The main driver of the savings market is the deposits in the national currency, which account for almost 90 % of the total market growth in rubles. Of the almost 800 billion rubles of market growth in July, more than 600 billion was required for ruble funds. The increase in savings in national currency is 7.5 % since the beginning of the year.

Since the beginning of the year, the volume of liabilities of individuals reached 11.2 trillion rubles in VTB, of which more than 10.6 trillion had to be ruble.

“The savings market continues to grow: albeit a moderate pace, but stable. With the beginning of the cycle of mitigation of the DCP, we see how the trend is formed towards investment strategies that can provide higher profitability in the long term. Nevertheless, deposits remain an understandable, affordable and profitable tool for accumulating funds. Both retail investors and investors continue to keep funds in the bank and are in no hurry to abandon passive income, which still exceeds inflation, ”said Alexei Khundinzin, senior vice president, head of the VTB retail business department.
