The Big Picture:
World wide wealth has seen further growth, as such wealth for private households rose by a 155billion Euro in 2015, so gaining 4.9%. This although, was the lowest gain since 2011. The report was given by the Allianz „ Global Wealth report“. In recent years, growth had been at 9%. The main reason for the slowdown was the weakening appreciation of stocks and bonds, slowing particularly in Western Europe. Largest gains were seen in Asia,excluding Japan, where wealth appreciated by 15.8% in 2015. It is interesting to see the development of the middle classes. Countries such as Turkey and Thailand are seeing an increase in their middle classes, yet classical industrial countries such as Italy, the USA and Japan are decreasing.
