This statistic shows the interest rateson household deposits with an agreed maturity of more than two years in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands from August 2018 to August 2019 (per annum). The interest rate in Belgium was 0.68 percent in August 2019. The monetary policy of the European Central Bank (ECB) maintains artificially low interest rates in an effort to increase inflation on the European continent. As a consequence, locking money away in a savings account becomes less lucrative. Despite that, the saving rate of households in the Netherlands is forecasted to increase by approximately 14.7 percent in 2019.
