The relationship between terrorism and savings is conceptually ambiguous. Terrorism can (i) lower savings by increasing perceived associated risks or (ii) result in more precautionary savings as a coping strategy. A scarce empirical literature fails to resolve this ambiguity. I address it by differentiating between formal and informal savings. I argue that individuals perceive formal institutions (banks) as more likely to fall to terrorism than informal channels.
