Savings notebooks

Falling inflation has improved carnet performance and attracted more investors. In August, the savings balance was positive at R $ 2.14 billion

For the fourth time in a row, the savings account registered more deposits than withdrawals. In August, this difference was positive at R $ 2.14 billion, the best performance for the month in four years. The data were released on Wednesday (6), by the Central Bank.

From January to August, the net saving of savings - which is the difference between withdrawals and deposits - was negative by R $ 7.81 billion. Still, this was the best result for the period since 2013, when the application had recorded a funding of R $ 14.16 billion.

The book yield was 6.90% in the 12 months ending in August, ie above inflation, which is currently at 2.46%.

The relationship between yields and inflation is important in determining whether the investor has made or lost money with a financial product. If inflation is higher than the return of savings, for example, there was loss and the investment was eroded.
