Per capita net wealth in Portugal decreased by 1.6% last year

Jornal de Negócios2 September 2026 at 11:01

Per capita net wealth in Portugal decreased by 1.6% last year, according to the data mentioned in the article.

However, globally, household wealth reached a record 570 trillion dollars in 2025, representing an increase of 40 trillion dollars compared to 2024.

Despite this global growth, only 20% of this increase resulted from the formation of new productive capital, which suggests that most of the wealth growth does not come from productive investments.
