Bulgaria’s commercial banks are less interested in attracting new deposits, banking expert Victor Yotsov told the Bulgarian National Radio. In Mr Yotsov’s words, the Bulgarian National Bank may reduce its interest rate on deposits even further and the banks may have to start paying more for the excessive amount of deposits. The liquidity of the Bulgarian banks is very high. That is why most of them are not interested in attracting more capital in bank deposits. The banks experience difficulties in supplying the huge amount of money they keep in deposits. However, the interest on bank deposits would not become negative. Otherwise, people would withdraw all their money from the commercial banks, if they are obliged to pay interest just to keep their money in banks, Victor Yotsov further said.
