“Until the end of 2023, Russians will for the first time pay taxes on income from deposits, savings and other accounts for which interest is accrued. According to Post Bank, the introduction of the tax will affect no more than 10% of revenues.” “It will not have a significant impact on depositors and their behavior and the volume of funds withdrawn.”

The bank said last year that the demand for deposit and savings accounts has risen sharply against the backdrop of an unstable economic situation.
