In 2019, Russian residents' income increased by 6.2 year-on-year to nearly 62 trillion rubles, but due to consumer spending and rigid demand spending, the increase in household savings deposits fell from 2.5 trillion rubles to 2.1 trillion rubles in 2019, a decrease of nearly 14%. Since 2020, due to the neo-coronavirus pandemic, some Russians have withdrawn their deposits, fearing the loss of their bank deposits. In addition, during the period of self-isolation, the Russian people bought large quantities of stored food and were forced to consume their savings when their real income stagnated. Experts believe that the increase in household savings deposits this year will continue to show a downward trend, or will not exceed 1.3-1.5 trillion rubles. According to the Central Bank of Russia, the decline in household savings deposits is related to the stagnation of real disposable income of residents. The increase in consumer spending depends mainly on savings, and this year the outflow of savings from residential banks has more than doubled year-on-year. (Ministry of Commerce website)
