“Every day we work actively with clients to promote their financial literacy, because, unfortunately, a large part of the society lacks the knowledge to increase their savings. We see that the wealthiest clients invest almost 25% of their savings in financial instruments, thus continuing to earn and increase their capital, while most companies, by irrationally managing their savings, lose some of their hard-earned and accumulated money by holding money in non-profitable bank accounts. seriously consider ways to protect and increase your savings so as not to lose the value already accumulated due to high inflation, “says Kārlis Purgailis, Chairman of the Board of Citadele’s subsidiary CBL Asset Management.
In general, the population holds 10 times more money in non-profit accounts than they have invested in financial instruments, according to Citadele statistics. In addition, currently 98% of investments in financial instruments belong to the wealthiest part of the society or private bankers’ customers, although they make up only a small percentage of the bank’s total customers.

The opportunity to create savings by deferring money in a savings account is used mainly by economically active residents aged 25 to 65 – 49% of the total savings in savings accounts are their money.
