In that context, the government has decided to move away from the previous decision and keep the profit rate unchanged. According to government policies, the rate of return is relatively high for low-investment savings certificates and slightly lower for high-investment savings certificates. Family savings certificates are the most popular among the savings certificates under the National Savings Department. Usually, the profit rate of savings certificates is redetermined every six months. As a result of the new decision, the profit rate of savings certificates has remained unchanged for about a year.
