Meanwhile, a number of economists said that if the banking system continues at this rate, the banks will not be able to provide services, and this will have a negative impact on the country's economy, Tolo News reported.

"If everyone transfers its money to other countries, what is left? The bank is an economic structure--when we deposit our money in the banks then that is used for investments," said Wahab Qati, an economic analyst.
