On Tuesday, the prime minister asked if a legal solution could be counted, such as linking the deposit rate with the NBP reference rate.

Asking the president of Pekao SA, Leszek Skiba, whether and when his bank will raise interest rates on deposits, he replied: – We are closely monitoring the situation and trying to respond on an ongoing basis by making changes to our offer.
He noted that Picao reported the first increase in deposit rates in April. – Currently – due to the continuing inflation trend – we are working on another increase in interest rates on deposits. We will provide details in the next few days, Skiba said.
Pekao chairman emphasized that “in recent weeks, banks have increased deposit rates” because they are part of the financial system and bear joint responsibility for it. “They encourage saving, and this is a factor that curbs inflation. Banks, as public trust institutions, must also participate in activities that support the improvement of the standards of the financial system” – noted Pekao’s chairman.
He added that the bank’s data showed that in the early days of the war, customers paid large sums. – We note that banks are already competing for this liquidity, for example by offering higher interest rates on deposits – he said.
