There can be many reasons for this and probably not CRS. In many countries the bank needs to flag suspicious activity by law. In that case everything is checked and the travel rule can reveal a lot about the transactions. There can also be spontaneous exchange of information. But I do agree...

Where have you found out about that?

This would be against the OECD guidelines

Maybe just put into stocks or ETFs? The standard rate is not 8-12% anyways

Inflation including the debasement of the currency is somewhere between 8 and 12% buddy (and has been for the past 70 years). Gold (and even better, BTC) is the real currency
