篇章:全球私人财产飙升至152万亿 The amount of private wealth held by households globally surged more than 14% to $152 trillion last year, boosted mainly by rising stock markets. 2013年全球家庭所持有的私人财产飙升超过14%,达到152万亿美元,其中主要的增长来自于股市上涨。 Asia-Pacific, excluding Japan, led the surge with a 31% jump to $37tn, a report by Boston Consulting Group says. The number of millionaire households also rose sharply. The report takes into account cash, deposits, shares and other assets held by households. But businesses, real estate and luxury goods are excluded. In nearly all countries, the growth of private wealth was driven by the strong rebound in equity markets that began in the second half of 2012, the firm said in its report. This performance was spurred by relative economic stability in Europe and the US and signs of recovery in some European countries, such as Ireland, Spain and Portugal. The amount of wealth held in equities globally grew by 28% during the year, Boston Consulting Group said. Asia-Pacific growth Economies in Asia have been key drivers of global growth in the recent years. And households in the region have benefitted from this growth. |
