Anglo/AIB Deposit rates

C

Clue

Excuse this simple newbie question but,

Why don't the government get Anglo/AIB to offer short fixed term deposit rates which reflect the current bond rate?

Who in Europe wouldn't want to put a few grand into a deposit account paying 6% interest?
 
No one, if you think you might only get 80% of the deposit back
 
Have a think about where their income is coming from and at what interest rate.
 
Thanks for the info. Obviously no easy answers in this mess.
