Banks Clearly Losing Traction

Iranians’ tendency to invest in banks has declined drastically in favor of stocks and real estate markets, according to a poll by the Iran Student Polling Agency (ISPA). 
ISPA asked a representative sample of 1,590 citizens from July 19 to 26 “which sector(s) they prefer to invest their savings.”
Results showed only 8.1% of respondents considered keeping their money in banks to protect their hard-earned savings. This was comparably lower than the 24.8% willing to invest in banks in a similar poll last year.
