Тенденції розвитку депозитного ринку в Україні в сучасних умовах пандемії та пропозиції щодо його покращення

Abstract

Abstract. Introduction. The trend of deposit policy of banks in Ukraine during the past five years is examined in the article. Deposit is the most important resource of banks. It is source for loans, investment and other activities. Purpose. The task was to investigate the extent to which the overall dynamics of bank deposits in Ukraine was affected by the Covid-19 in comparison with non-crisis years. Results. The situation in the deposit services market can be explained by two main reasons: the motive of caution, as well as the introduction of lockdowns, which helped to reduce the purchase of goods and services. The main goal of the banking and financial system is to strengthen the resource base of commercial banks. At the current stage of development in the provision of deposit services to individuals, there is an increase in absolute values, while the share of deposits in total bank liabilities remains at about the same level. The study of processes for the provision of deposit services in Ukraine shows its uneven development. This situation is explained as a psychological moment, the population is wary of spending all the money, prefers to keep them, because they are not sure about the future. Another reason is the introduction of quarantine restrictions that affect purchasing power. The result we got shows that the Covid-19 did not significantly affect to the amount of individual funds. However, it should be noted that the growth rate is not significant. It should be noted that over the past 5 years, interest rates in the national currency (both long-term and short-term) have more than halved, while in foreign currency — 7 times for long-term and 4 — for short-term. The interest rate policy largely determines the level of liquidity, profitability and risk of the bank.
