Bulgarians keep over 90% of their savings as bank deposits, which is three times higher than the average for the citizens of other European Union countries, a survey shows.
The remaining 10% of their assets are distributed among pension funds, stocks and other types of financial instruments, according to a survey of investment company Pioneer Investments, based on data of researches by Cap Gemini and Merrill Lynch.
Estimates have shown a significant difference in the distribution of savings in Bulgaria and Europe. For comparison, in Europe, people kept below 30% of their money in deposits. About 35% of their investments are in pension and insurance funds and the rest of the savings are directed towards capital markets.
