According to APA-Economics calculations, as of April 1, 2011, real annual interest rate on deposit made 2.63%.

Note that real interest rate takes the inflation into consideration. Annual inflation in first quarter made 9.1%, in Azerbaijan.

For comparison note that, the declared interest rates on deposits made 11.79%, last year, real interest rate including 5.7%-annual inflation made 6.09%. At the same time, average interest rates on deposits made 12.98% in 2009 and real interest rates including 1.5%-inflation stood at 11.48%.

So the depositors can only pay the growth of consumer prices and get 2.6%-profit from the incomes on deposits. It means, Azerbaijani banks don’t take the inflation ino consideration. Besides, they did not increase the interest rates on credits according to inflation. So the banks’ average credit interest rate is 16.41%, however real interest rate (including inflation) makes 7.31%.
