Firms and households saved huge amounts in December last year

The population and the companies both increased the amount of their deposits in the last month of last year – according to the recent data of MNB, published on the Bank’s website on Tuesday.

The increase in the population’s deposits were due to early payments and bonuses allocated at the end of the year. Growth can be experienced in the company world as well. The significant part of the deposit growth of companies can be explained with EU payments. The company’s deposit portfolio of 6584 billion HUF was 593 billion HUF higher than their year-end credit debt. (MTI)
