The volume of mattress money or currency outside banks plummeted significantly in the first four months of the current fiscal year as a much-needed respite to credit-starved lenders, according to bankers. Deposits worth over Tk 460 billion, which flew out of the banking system because of trust deficit amid some large-scale debt anomalies, returned into bank vaults in July-October 2023, riding on higher interest rates. Data available with the central bank revealed that the volume of currency outside banks stood at Tk 2.46 trillion at the end of October 2023. The deposit outflow from banks kept rising since September 2022 following reports of gross irregularities in some commercial banks. The amount rose to a record high of Tk 2.92 trillion in June 2023. As a result, the volume of deposit outflow from banks keeps declining with figures reaching Tk 2.66 trillion in July, Tk 2.58 trillion in August and Tk 2.53 trillion in September. Dhaka Bank managing director and CEO Emranul Huq said currency outside banks increased largely for trust deficit following debt anomalies in some shariah-based banks. Even depositors, driven by fears of losing their money, withdrew funds not only from the unconventional banks but also from banks having poor ratings, he cited. Good news is depositors have started returning to the banking system as they have started believing that banks are the safest place for investment as no bank fails to return funds on demand till today.
