As noted in
the regulator's message, the topic under discussion arose as part of a
scientific and analytical study conducted by the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
The Central Bank stressed that research organizations regularly study
international experience and economic processes, as well as develop various
analytical proposals.
At the same
time, the voiced opinion was presented exclusively during the presentation of
the research results and is not an official initiative or proposal for
implementation.
The Central
Bank also noted that when considering any such proposals, special attention is
paid to a comprehensive assessment of their possible impact on the cost of
financial resources, the resource base of banks and the financial stability of
the banking system.
Thus, the
information disseminated on social networks about the introduction of taxation
of interest income on bank deposits does not correspond to the status of an official
legislative initiative.
