ten years ago was account savings 21% of household assets. Today, the corresponding figure is 30 per cent. During the same period, the total equity that households have in their savings accounts increased by 9 per cent per year. It can be compared with the corresponding rate of increase for the funds and the shares, 5 per cent. It shows statistics from statistics SWEDEN and the SBAB.
savings deposits is, in other words, the swedes have a warm heart. And despite the fact that savings rates in recent years have been very low or non-existent.
Since 2007, the swedes have put into 940 billion on their savings accounts. On average, the interest rate has remained at 1.1 per cent during the ten years that have passed since then. SBAB has counted on what these savers would have received if the savers opted out of the major banks ‘ low – or nollräntekonton, and instead opted for a nischbank that can give a little higher rate of interest. As a comparison, the bank has chosen it’s own savings account, where the average rate of interest has been 2.1 per cent during the same period.
