Economist: Installing the interest rate will not change the returns of savings certificates
Dr. Ezz Hassanein, the economist, stressed that the Central Bank’s decision to install the interest rate on deposit and lending will not have a direct impact on the holder or investors of savings certificates, whether with a fixed or variable return, explaining that the returns will remain as they are unchanged.
Hassanein pointed out in statements to Cairo 24, that the real impact on the value of savings returns comes from other economic factors, foremost of which is inflation rates and exchange rate changes, as the high rates of inflation and the low value of the pound negatively affect the purchasing power of money, and thus reduce the real feasibility of investing in savings.
Hassanein stressed the importance of following up the general economic variables, as the main determinant of the value of the actual return and not only the nominal return on bank certificates, calling on citizens and investors to diversify their financial tools in a manner that is appropriate to the current economic conditions.
