Canadians
‘Save in record amounts.

The Canadian Bankers’
Association (CBA) reports
that as of mid-1978 there
were 24 million personal
Savings accounts at the
chartered banks holding
$47.34 billion, compared to

' 23.3 million accounts and

$43.23 billion a year earlier.

The average account held
$1,972 against $1,854 a year
earlier and $869 in 1968.
Almost 67 per cent of the
accounts were for less than
$1,000 and more than 37 per
cent for less than $100.

The CBA says these
figures point to the im-
portance of the individual as
a source of funds for the
economy and the broad-
based public acceptance of
the chartered banks as the
country’s principal savings
institutions.

These statistics are in-
cluded in the CBA’s just-
issued Factbook, which also

_ Teports on a wide range of

other banking activity.
For instance:

- The banks in 1977 had
net after-tax earnings of less
than 50 cents for every $100
of assets employed.

- Although consumer
credit is increasing, the total

disposable income is just —

about the same as it was in
1969. ~ :

- Canadians are second
only to Americans as prolific
cheque writers, averaging 60
a year each. .

- The banks now have —
about 7,400 branches or an
average of one for about
every 3,200 Canadians.

- Payment of interest on
deposits and debentures is

the largest single expense ~

item for the banks, about
$6.9 billion in 1977.

assets in foreign currencies,
