One-year deposit rates and the repo rate
General public, retail deposits. Each step is a change seen on the bank's own page or rate card.
Banks passed on less of the cuts
In the 2022 hikes the median bank raised its one-year rate by 1.70 points against a 2.50 point rise in the repo rate (16 banks). By February 2026 the median bank had cut it by 0.55 points against a 1.25 point cut (16 banks). 11 of the 12 banks seen in both cycles passed on a smaller share of the cuts.
Change in the one-year rate from the last capture before each cycle to March 2023 (hikes) and to February 2026 (cuts), divided by the change in the repo rate. Banks with a capture from June 2024 on before the cuts.
