During gathering data some cuts are performed:

– In Bank of Albania there are 3 type of interest rates for one type of deposits. Example for 3 months dep. there are three figures standard deposit, minimum amount deposit and top amount deposit. In order to be more clear to the reality we have taken in consideration only the standard and the minimum amount deposit. Top deposit amount may refer to interest rates which are available only to special customers. We are trying to avoid this because are analysis is more for the mass rather than specific groups.

– Term deposit above 2 years are not taken in calculation, this is because of the principle in the above point.

– Term deposits for business are not taken in considerations, first reason is that it is not a good moment for them to invest in deposits and secondly is because we are referring to the mass.
