  • The assets of all private households worldwide amounted to a good 454 trillion US dollars at the end of 2022. This emerges from the new “Global Wealth Report” from UBS and CS.
  • For the first time since the 2008 financial crisis, the amount has fallen – by 2.4 percent compared to the previous year.
  • The Swiss continue to have the greatest wealth.

Financial assets in particular lost value as a result of stock market declines. Real estate values, on the other hand, have proved resilient despite rapidly rising interest rates, the report says.

Legend:

The number of millionaires worldwide has fallen by 3.5 million to 59.4 million.

The loss was heavily concentrated in affluent regions such as North America and Europe. By contrast, the largest increases in wealth could have been achieved in Russia, Mexico, India and Brazil.

Wealth is likely to increase again soon

With a view to the average assets per adult, Switzerland is according to the Global Wealth Report still at the top – followed by the US and Hong Kong. On average, an adult in Switzerland owns a good 685,000 US dollars (around 599,844 Swiss francs).

The authors of the study predict a reversal for the coming years: Total wealth is likely to increase by 38 percent to $629 trillion by 2027. This is mainly thanks to growth in middle-income countries.
