Deregulation and Deposit Pricing

Download pdf

The deregulation of interest rates on federally insured deposits has snowballed over the past several years. The deregulation process is almost completed, and banks and thrifts can now determine the rates that they pay on all deposits except some types of transaction accounts, passbook savings, and very short-term time deposits. Even these latter restrictions will be eliminated in the near future because of deregulatory legislation.
