The Department of National Savings has announced new profit rates for investment in savings certificates and bonds for the first half of the year. Under the new rates, the pension scheme will offer a maximum return of 10.59 percent, while general savings certificates will yield up to 10.54 percent. For family savings certificates with the same investment cap, the five-year return now stands at 10.54 percent, down from 11.98 percent. The government has decided to announce interest rates for savings certificates every six months. This revision aligns returns with current fiscal policies, offering a structured, transparent framework for small and large investors alike.
