Retail deposit guarantee to stay

10/02/2010

The federal government‘s guarantee on retail deposits of up to one million dollars will stay in place, despite the wholesale guarantee now coming to an end on March 31.

The government, having promised to keep this in place for three years, is not expected to be inclined to move early to alter that and risk complaints from consumers and a possible further shift of deposits to the relative safety of the big banks. The retail guarantee will therefore stay in place until at least October next year.
