Lending rate minus deposit rate — what the banking system keeps between savers and borrowers. Our calculation from two IMF-harmonised series.
How to read this figure
Our own calculation: the bank lending rate minus the bank deposit rate, both IMF-harmonised. It is a rough measure of what the banking system takes between savers and borrowers — wide spreads often mean thin competition or high risk premiums. The underlying loan and deposit mixes differ by country, so treat close values as similar rather than identical.
