Manat Not Held in High Esteem with Depositors
Dollarization of bank deposits in Azerbaijan is obvious - the volume of manat accounts from January to August decreased by 2.07 times to 2 billion 138.7 million manats. By the way, while on January 1 they accounted for 60% of the total mass, today its share is at 28.1%.
In this, the population's deposits in foreign currency rose almost twofold by 1 August - by 97.6% to $ 5 billion 466.4 million manats, or 71.9% of all bank savings.
The total volume of the bank "nest egg" is $ 7 billion 605.1 million manats (5.8% YTD). Recall, the official figures of CBA do not take into account the February devaluation of the national currency, which resulted in manats dipped by 34% - that is, deposits really became 30% less.
By August 1, the total volume of deposits in local banks was 18 billion 213.6 million manats (+ 17.9% to 1 January). --17D-
