For Arturo García, professor of Finance at ESAN Graduate School of Business, fixed-term deposits are still the flagship product of the financial system, since they ensure greater profits than normal savings accounts. “With regard to fixed-term deposits, interest rates have been gradually reduced.

What are the best options to invest your savings?
After the approval of the opinion that authorizes a new AFP withdrawal of up to 4 UIT (S/20,600) in the Congressional Economy Commission, many citizens are waiting with anticipation for the possibility of accessing this money used for pension purposes. However, economist Arturo García recommends not releasing these funds because it would put the future pensions of members of the Private Pension System at risk.
Despite the decision adopted by Parliament, it advises that people invest their money through fixed-term deposits in banks, financial institutions or municipal savings banks, since they are protected by the Deposit Insurance Fund, which has an amount coverage for up to S/122,420 for the period March 2024-May 2024.
