List of countries by total wealth

This figure is an important indicator of a nation's ability to take on debt and sustain spending and is influenced not only by real estate prices, equity market prices, exchange rates, liabilities and incidence in a country of the population, but also by human resources, natural resources, and capital and technological advancements, which may create new assets or render others worthless in the future.

The most significant component by far among most developed nations is commonly reported as household net wealth or worth, and reflects infrastructure investment.

National wealth can fluctuate, as evidenced in the United States after the Great Recession and subsequent economic recovery.

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

In the following table are ranked the 30 countries by the largest national net wealth from 2000 to 2022 according to UBS and Credit Suisse S.A. (August 2023).
