List of countries by financial assets per capita

[1] This list shows selected countries, sorted by highest financial gross wealth per adult.

Financial wealth takes into account: savings, monetary gold, currency and deposits, stocks, securities and loans.

Financial assets include pension and life insurance reserves, which in many cases cannot be withdrawn at one's discretion.

On the other hand, when equity markets are depressed, the relative wealth the countries where people invest more in real estate or bonds, such as France and Italy, tend to rise instead.

Countries with more aged populations like Germany and Italy would have higher relative wealth, if calculated per capita and not per adult.
