Private depositors continue to avoid negative interest rates

Private depositors continue to avoid negative interest rates on deposits in Danish commercial banks. In comparison, 53 per cent of bank deposits placed by non-financial corporations and 94 per cent of deposits from insurance and pension funds accrue negative interests. These distributions are some of the results from a semi-annual survey conducted by Danmarks Nationalbank, which as of September covered 94 per cent of all deposits in Danish banks, excluding pooling schemes.
