Idle savings cost Portuguese families hundreds of euros per year, says Revolut

A Revolut study reveals that Portuguese families hold 89.1 billion euros in current account deposits, losing approximately 706 euros annually for every 10,000 euros in potential earnings by not investing in diversified markets. The institution warns that, with one-year deposit rates around 2% and inflation at 2.2%, idle money loses real purchasing power, and that mobilizing these savings for investments could generate 6.3 billion euros in annual growth capital. The study, which surveyed 1,000 adults in Portugal, identifies inertia, lack of financial literacy, and fragmentation of financial services as the main barriers to investment, with 44% of respondents unable to correctly assess the relationship between returns and inflation. The European Commission, represented by Maria Luís Albuquerque, has defended that keeping money in the bank results in losses, echoing the conclusions of the European Wealth Erosion Index.
