In the first quarter of 2013, bank deposits in the 700,000 RUR to 1m RUR range grew the fastest; so did those in the 400,000 RUR to 700,000 RUR range: the figures grew by 11.5% and 8.2%, respectively. The volume of bank deposits that are more than 1m RUR big rose by 6.6%, so, just like in Russia on average, the local bank deposits mainly grew thanks to those that are bigger than the ensured sum of 700,000 RUR and thanks to those that were falling within the 400,000 RUR to 700,000 RUR limit.
