24 per cent annual interest on time deposits: St Petersburg Travel Notes, installment three — Gilbert Doctorow

Not much happening regarding MMT these days.

Herer is an anecdotal report on Russian banking. And, yes, you read that right. You get 24% not the bank.

Doctorow is an American residing in Brussels who spends a good deal of time in Russia. His wife is Russian and he is fluent in Russian. A "Russianist," he has a a PhD in history (Harvard) and is a retired business person. His reporting does not conform to the narrative.
