Preliminary Indicators for 2025 Confirm Strong Household and Business Savings

Preliminary indicators for 2025 confirm the strong performance of household and business savings, which is based on three main complementary pillars: banking savings, postal savings, and collective savings.

Banking Savings: The Largest Component

With a total of 37,372 MTND, banking savings is by far the most important component. The significant increase of 3,068 MTND compared to the end of 2024 demonstrates the lasting confidence of depositors in the banking sector. This growth is a testament to the resilience of the precautionary savings reflex, as well as the ability of banks to continue capturing a significant share of the country's liquidity.

Postal Savings: A Key Role in Local Savings Collection

The postal channel has also confirmed its key role in collecting local savings. The total amount reached 11,505 MTND, with an increase of 981 MTND over one year. This significant increase reflects the attachment of citizens, particularly in less banked areas, to a network perceived as safe and accessible, thus playing a major role in financial inclusion.

Collective Savings: Exceptional Performance

The outstanding fact of 2025 is the exceptional performance of collective savings, which achieved an impressive collection of 1,492.3 MTND. This figure, relative to the market size, indicates a growing orientation of savings towards more remunerative instruments. It reflects a certain maturity of investors and a search for diversification beyond simple sight deposits or traditional savings.

Improved Financial System Capacity

The financial system's ability to collect savings has significantly improved in 2025. This financial windfall is crucial as it will enable banks and financial institutions to fully play their role in financing the economy. Whether it's supporting business investment, financing household consumption, or accompanying the country's structuring projects, this abundance of savings constitutes an essential liquidity cushion for transforming the national economy. The challenge for 2026 will be to channel this savings towards the most productive sectors in order to support sustainable growth.
