As it became known, after the new decision of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey regarding KCM, banks made changes to deposit rates. This new solution is said to have prompted banks to start offering deposit accounts to customers. Because lately we have seen an increase in the inflow of money into deposits. However, today’s events show that interest rates have risen to record levels.
Express statement of former official Ziraat and Halkbank!
Especially one of the names closely watched by the financial world. prof. Dr. Senol Babuscuannounced the new campaign launched by the banks in a statement on Twitter. According to Babusciu, interest rates of up to 45 percent for 92-day deposit accounts and 40 percent for 32-day accounts have begun to be offered.
Babush’s statement on Twitter reads as follows:
“Some banks;
If the client transfers 50% TL KKM to a monthly deposit in TL at maturity;
40% up to 32-91 days, 45% up to 92-95%
