The results of a survey on the best currencies to keep savings in, conducted by RT, showed that almost a quarter of participants prefer to keep their money in national currencies, and the dollar accounts for 11% of the vote.
According to the results of the survey, which was attended by 2489 participants, 23% of participants prefer to keep their savings in national currencies, while the US dollar accounts for 11% of the vote.
At the same time, 10% of the participants voted for the Saudi rial, and 3% for the UAE dirham, and the Russian currency – the ruble – gained 6% of the votes of the participants.
The survey results show that the US currency is losing ground as a world currency, and that people tend to save their savings or “misfortune of life” in other currencies after years of holding them in US currency.
What’s notable about the results is that 30% of the participants had nothing to save, indicating that the Arab countries are going through difficult economic times that have affected jobs and income levels.
Here are the poll results:
