Banks' FD rates are surging up, many offering around 1% or more for longer periods. 

Hopefully, they fight fiercely with higher, irresistible rates to benefit all retail savers. 

Local banks can never take the lead to up FD rates.

Not surprised as US Federal Reserve is going to increase interest rate 6 times this year to fight inflation, in the next rate hike in May instead of 0.25%, it will increase 0.5%….so the FD rate can go beyond 2% by year end.

At most 1% and more than a year. Then like you owe them money. In actual fact they will later use your money to buy shares when low and make 30-50% a year then give you 1%.

Having said that, as inflation rate is very high, 1-2% FD is useless as we lose more than the miserable interest the bank is going to give.

You’re literally paying 15-20% for everything like food, drink, deserts, groceries, petrol and public transport fare than last year, and GST hike is not yet implemented.

Very  true and well said.

But for the majority of people who do not indulge in stocks and shares,they  have no choice but to accept what those blood sucking banks pay....can be near to zero for savings rates.
