Residents and businesses in Altai Krai have significantly increased their savings over the past year. By January 1, total deposits in the region reached 691.3 billion rubles—a rise of 15% compared to the same period in 2025. The growth reflects a broader trend across Russia, where savings have surged nationwide.

The sharp rise in savings highlights a growing financial cushion for both households and businesses in Altai Krai.
