For those who get paid salaries etc through savings accounts I believe the bank want to convert these accounts to some non interest bearing accounts to avoid paying the 7..XX% interest

Irony of using KBRR is that because it's lower, banks move to lending to govt. So tbills drop, and because tbills make up KBRR, KBRR drops further. CBK wont even have to change CBR.

Interesting times ahead.

But KBRR is extra low considering free deposits from majority of the transactional accounts.. CBA did no one a favor, including themselves.. But their source of funds may be illegit so we understand

The race to the bottom continues. Those banks unable to adapt to change will perish leaving only the most cost efficient surviving.
