The media reported that the largest Russian banks, fearing the continuation of the outflow of public funds, as well as new international sanctions, decided to increase the interest of citizens to dollar deposits by raising interest rates.

Thus, the best offers today are approaching the 4% per year mark.

According to the Vedomosti newspaper, in the first half of November, the profitability of deposits in US dollars increased in 10 lending institutions included in the Top 30. Moreover, some financial institutions also decided to raise interest rates on deposits in euros.

By the way, according to kp.ru, capital outflow from Russia in January-August of this year increased 2.8 times, reaching $ 26.5 billion in eight months in 2018

As far as sanctions are concerned, the United States continues to apply them with an enviable frequency. For example, in early November, the Crimean health centers “Ai-Petri”, “Dulber”, “Mishor”, as well as the hotel “Mriya Resort and Spa” and its manager Garant-SV OJSC, fell under them.
