Markets, not savings, drove majority of global wealth creation in 2025, says report — Did India benefit from the boom? | Mint
A new report says market gains, not fresh savings, drove most global wealth growth in 2025. Indian household financial assets rose 9% to $5.3 trillion, above the global 8.6% average. But deposits still form 40.2% of Indian portfolios, against 32.7% in securities, so many households missed the market rally. Check your own mix.
