Determinants of Savings
Government Budget (T – G)
Taxes on interest earned or on interest income. Taxes on
interest earned or interest income affect savings via lower
payout
Credibility of the Financial System
Taxes on interest earned and credibility in the financial
system, affects the level of savings via the incentive
principle. A higher incentive to save (lower taxes on
interest income or a more solid and credible financial
system), leads to higher savings, implying lower
consumption (C). Thus, other things equal, private
savings increase.
