New deposits reach 30.4 billion lei in September, over 70% from companies

30.4 billion lei — the volume of new deposits attracted by Moldovan banks in September, according to National Bank data.

About 70% of the total (around 21.4 billion lei) came from companies and almost 30% (around 9 billion) from individuals. Firms keep money mostly on demand: 16.4 billion lei in lei accounts at an average 3.74% a year. Companies’ lei term deposits were just 700 million lei, at 5.2%.

Individuals placed 2.4 billion lei in term deposits at an average 6.11%, most of it (1.41 billion) for 2–5 years. Foreign-currency term deposits earned individuals only 1.41% a year on average.
