Deposit rate minus inflation — whether an ordinary bank account gains or loses purchasing power. Our calculation from two separately sourced figures.
How to read this figure
Our own calculation: the bank deposit rate minus annual CPI inflation. Where the policy-rate real rate answers "does the central bank beat inflation", this answers the question an ordinary saver actually has — does MY account? Deposit rates come from the IMF (harmonised, ~100 economies), inflation from official CPI; we never compute it when either leg is missing.
