Interest rates on deposits - 2025-08
Published on the 1st of October 2025
statistics
- In August 2025, the average interest rate on outstanding bank deposits decreased by 20 basis points (bps) down to 1.28% (after 1.48% in July). This decline is mainly due to the decrease of the "Livret A"'s interest rate (-70 bps), thus affecting the global remuneration of households' deposits (-28 bps at 1.31%). Meanwhile, the remuneration of non-financial corporations' deposits remains almost stable (-2 bps).
- The average interest rate on new time deposits also fell, except for household time deposits with agreed maturities over two years, which remained unchanged.
