Rising interest rates drive up interest-earning deposits
On an annual basis, growth in overnight deposits is stable in August at +5.7%.
The growth rate of the M2 - M1 aggregate increases (+7.8%, up from +6.6% in July and +6.3% in June), driven by deposits with agreed maturity of up to 2 years (+20.7%, up from +14.0% in July) and by saving accounts (+6.0%, up from +5.6% in July and June 2022), at a time when the interest rate on these products is rising.
The M3-M2 aggregate continues to decline in August 2022 (-5.9%, after -6.9% in July), due to net sales of money market fund shares/units (-20.7%, after -21.3% in July 2022).
Overall, after taking into account gross monetary liabilities and assets vis-à-vis the rest of the euro area, the growth rate of the French component of the euro area monetary aggregate M3 increases slightly in August 2022 (+5.9%, up from +5.5% in July).

Additional information
The outstanding amount of monetary claims (excluding coins and banknotes) consists of claims with an initial maturity of up to and including 2 years that monetary counterparts (basically households, non-financial corporations, general government excluding central government, insurance corporations, non-money market funds, investment funds and financial vehicle corporations) hold against monetary financial institutions (deposit-taking institutions, sociétés de financement under French law, Caisse des dépôts et consignations, MMF and the central bank).
Saving accounts include regulated saving accounts, i.e. livrets A, livrets de développement durable, comptes d'épargne logement, livrets d'épargne populaire, and non-regulated saving accounts, i.e. livrets jeunes and livrets ordinaires. One part of the amounts held on regulated saving accounts is transferred by deposit-taking institutions to a fund managed by the Caisse des dépôts et consignations; the other part remains in banks' balance sheets. Debt securities with maturity of up to 2 years mainly include certificates of deposit (short term paper) issued by French deposit-taking institutions and subscribed by neither MMF nor deposit-taking institutions counterparts.
Annual growth rates are adjusted for reclassifications and revaluations but not for foreign exchange rate effects.
