How rich is your nation?
The world's total wealth soared by 7.4% to hit $418.3 trillion (£271tn) in 2020, despite the economic havoc wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the latest Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report. Between January and March 2020, the total sum of the money in the world decreased by 4.4%, but fast responses to the global health crisis by governments and banks, which prompted the quick recovery of financial markets, helped the world’s wealth to recover, and then some. Wealth per adult grew by 6% in 2020, giving the average global citizen a record-high net worth of $79,952 (£51.8k). But some countries have much richer populations than others.
