What's up? Large retail banks are afraid of new international sanctions against Russia and the release of public funds. At the end of October, the dollar deposit rate increased to 3.2-3.8% by VTB Bank.

We will have to wait for further increases in deposits. Gurianov, CEO of Frank RG, believes that the additional power of dollar deposit rates depends on US sanctions. Without additional sanctions, interest rates will continue to rise and begin to decline in the next few months. The macroeconomic adviser to Sergei Khestanov, general manager of Otkritie Broker, is confident that interest rates will continue to grow in the near future.
